This Business Ethics is 'a derived copy from the Corporate Governance course previously published in Connexions. While many courses using this title place emphasis on applying classical philosophical and ethical theory, this course's approach is decidedly interdisciplinary and practical. It is not designed as a socio-humanistic elective, a service philosophy course, or even an applied philosophical ethics course but as a laboratory, skills-based course where students develop, practice, and refine decision-making and problem-solving strategies that they will carry with them into the world of business practice.'
This module based program includes material dealing with Ethical Leadership, Ethical Decision-Making, Social Responsibility, and Corporate Governance..all topics that you need to know and understand to be a socially conscious and responsibile business.
