BUS 260: Business Ethics

3 credits

This course examines the ethics in commerce and management. It will include an examination of the conflicting roles of professionals working to further the interests of shareholders in a context of fiduciary duty while being responsible for an organization’s behavior with regard to its stakeholders. In depth discussions will consider market imperfections and possible market failures that result from the above listed dilemma. Students will do case studies that require an interdisciplinary approach, i.e. use of analytical tools outside the usual quantitative tools normally subscribed to in business. Offered Fall and Spring
