The modern firm has created unprecedented wealth around the world. Companies have also contributed to growing inequality within countries, climate change, harming consumers, and abused employees. Members of Generation Z (roughly, those born after 1996), like Millennials before them, are more concerned about the social role of businesses than those in previous generations, leading to tensions in both society and the workplace. The fundamental questions of this class are, 'Can business mitigate these social harms while maintaining economic viability? Should they?' This course is intended equally for third- and fourth-year undergraduate students in QAMO or other business majors who wonder how their personal concerns can and should influence their career, and those who think business should separate itself from social concerns and focus on simply making a profit, or those who just are not sure. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in QAMO 3020 AND (QAMO 4010 OR QAMO 5010) AND (BUS 1050 OR BUS 1051)

Many important decisions are made via voting processes. Some obvious examples include corporate boardrooms, shareholder meetings, industry councils, judicial rulings, fiscal policymaking, selection of religious leaders, the choice of officers of fraternities, and of course, the selection of national leaders. This class brings the tools of game theory and econometric analysis to the study of voting. This course draws on work in corporate finance and political economy to study how voting does and sometimes does not work. Voting is popular because it can provide a simple and transparent way to resolve differences in preferences and aggregate dispersed information. As we shall see, whether equilibrium or strategic behavior in voting processes achieves these ends sometimes merits further analysis, and in some settings, the choice of how voting occurs can be quite consequential. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in QAMO 3020 AND (QAMO 3030 OR QAMO 4700)
