Fall 2024 Lecture
This course is designed to move past a surface-level understanding that we need to act ethically in the business environment to wrestling with what does that look like and what frameworks can help us do just that. I also firmly believe that we have to prethink our decisions before we are confronted with opportunities to compromise ethically. We will incorporate current headlines to our evaluation of major ethical lapses of the past.
