Does your organization have an ethics challenge you want to tackle? Business professionals, unfamiliar with ethical inquiries, often find themselves struggling with ethical issues in such areas as finance, human resource management, marketing, and many other areas in business.

Students will explore ethical theories from a multi-stakeholder approach and apply ethical reasoning to an issue facing your organization. They will analyze select readings and case studies to explore key ethical principles and the various ways in which business professionals and ethical theorists address issues that commonly arise in the business world. Upon completion of the project, you will receive a detailed report and presentation.
