Textbook: Ethical Issues in Business, 7th. ed., Donaldson & Werhane
Course Description
This course provides a basic introduction to ethical issues in the business world, which includes the developing global, international business world. It must be
emphasized that because the business world is now so large and still developing, the course provides no more than an introduction to the enormously complex
ethical issues in the business world today. It is the general goal of the course to both explain and critically examine these ethical issues. You will be expected to
think for yourself.
The course is divided into five general, but overlapping, sections:
1. General Issues in Ethics.
2. Property, Profit, and Justice.
3. Corporations, Persons, and Morality.
4. International Business.
5. Contemporary Business Issues.
