BMGT20130 Managing Business Ethics

Academic Year 2022/2023

The purpose of this module is to help you to develop an awareness of the integration of business and ethical issues in organisations and your role in that process of interdependence of both constructs.

It explores the world of Ethics and Business within its philosophical foundations as a basis for understanding some of the key psychological dynamics of human behaviour influencing both our individual and collective decision making in terms of ethics in organisations.

Students will have opportunities to discuss ethical issues in case studies and various ethical dilemmas
which provide the context for a highly participative class dynamic.
