BADM 301 - Ethics in Business

Institution:

Ramapo College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

The business community is a subculture within the larger community, yet its particular demands upon behavior lead to ethical questions that are not common to every part of that community. The market is regulated by competition rather than cooperation, and in the model advanced by many theorists only an interest in profits can guide market decisions. Such an institutional structure does not seem to recognize or represent motivations that are not derived from profits. In the theoretical description of the market, for example, a body of law is necessary to provide common limits of action, but it is the unprofitable nature of disobedience that generates an interest in obedience to those laws. The course will investigate the manner in which ethical discourse may respond to the problems engendered by this unusual institutional structure, relatively new to history. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture, Online Course Anisfield School of Business College Business Administration Department Course Attributes: SB-ETHICS, GE-TOPICS ARTS AND HUMANITIES
