BUS 304 - Money, Power, and Lies

Institution:

Washington and Lee University

Subject:

Business Administration

Description:

Prerequisite: At least junior standing. This course integrates material from the disciplines of business ethics and organizational behavior to examine the impact of psychological and social forces on the ability of individuals to act ethically in large organizations. Beginning with the era of the ENRON and Arthur Anderson scandals and continuing through the current financial crisis, the issue of unethical behavior in large organizations has grown more disturbing. The concern is not confined to the financial industry. For example, both NASA shuttle disasters have been used as case studies in ethics and groupthink. Off-shore work practices and CEO compensation have raised ethical questions in many large companies. Herbert.
