Ethics in the Business World
Area:
International relationships / Relaciones internacionales The concept of ethics has always been important, but during the last ten years it has become even more important in the business world, considering all the unethical actions and behaviours which we have seen and read about. Ethics, being one of the main branches of Philosophy from Old Greece, studies what is moral and acceptable. This course introduces students to the world of ethics and its main theories, trends, and evolution, as well as its application in the business world. Different case studies will be presented which students will analyze and resolve.
Intercultural ethics and its influence in the business world will also be addressed. The diversity we find in norms, rules and concepts, about what is good and bad, acceptable and unacceptable, in different countries, requires some analysis. How employees and managers behave and their culture will be considered.
