ETHICS AND BUSINESS This course examines some of the most important ethical issues that arise in business contexts.

Guided by our consideration of several distinct ethical theories, we will examine issues related to the production and marketing of goods and services; relations between firms and consumers; workers and workplace; corporate social responsibility; international business; and the environmental impact of businesses.
