Special emphasis in this course is given to the analysis of ethical issues that business managers confront. A complementary objective is to focus on the implementation of ethical judgments and to formulate appropriate strategies for addressing barriers to such implementation. Throughout the course, however, the connection between reflection and action will be our chief concern. Existing norms for business practice will be studied and examined as they represent important guidelines for decision-making, but students will also be challenged to consider their adequacy, applicability, and appropriateness in various contexts. The course will consist of two broad elements. One component takes up the conceptual and theoretical foundations of business ethics. Readings, tools and perspectives will be drawn from various sources: moral philosphy, business history, economics, religion, and other disciplines. The focus in ths section is on ethical analysis and moral reasoning. The second component, representing a serious effort to simulate actual ethical decision making and implementation of those decisions, is based on case study and discussion. Cases cover various functional emphases as well as highlighting the multiple roles and responsibilities that fall to business men and women. The cases portray in a realistic fashion how different but interrelated ethics issues unfold and how these dilemmas frequently resist simple classification or easy resolution.
