Managers, marketing, sales representatives, accountants, employers and civil servants might not think of themselves as practical philosophers, but they really are. All have encountered or will encounter in their professional lives some normative issues relating to discrimination, responsibility, trust, manipulation, or integrity, to just name a few.
They might not explicitly think about such issues in terms of existing moral theories or philosophical arguments but they will ultimately decide based on philosophical assumptions that can be articulated, explored and assessed.
This course aims to explore some of these issues and the various perspectives that can be taken. It will create a habit of searching for the underlying moral assumptions when holding certain positions, as well as provide alternative arguments for differing positions. By doing so, it will create a deeper insight on the issues in question as well as understanding of arguments for alternative positions.
Learning Objectives:
1. To understand the place of ethics in business
2. To explore the responsibilities of business to society
3. To investigate moral and ethical dilemmas when conducting business
4. To explore the ethics of an organisation.
