Course Outline
Business Ethic
Semester II, Academic Year 2013/2014
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Business ethics is the moral analysis of business activity and practices. In
business ethics, we consider business actions and decisions in the light of
moral principles and values, and ask whether ethical motives in business
activity would make business better and more successful.
Among the considerations included in this course is the question about
whether any ethical values are already implied in business and market
activity, or whether introducing ethics into business will cause
fundamental changes to business. In addition, we want to assess how
business does and should affect our individual and social lives, and ask
what role business and its values (could) play in our society as a whole.
Further, we will examine issues and conflicts that typically arise in
business that have moral aspects to them, such as the way employers
treat their employees, employees their employers, and the ways
businesses treat their competitors, their customers, their society, and
even their environment. Finally, we will consider the practical question of
whether a (morally) good life can be lived by those who wholehearted
devote themselves to business success. These matters all center on
questions about human action and the good life.
Our principle focus in this course will be
the understanding and appreciation of a way of life in which money and
profits play an important but certainly not exclusive role. At times this
course will engage in constructive criticism of business life and practices;
however its predominant focus will not be business' failures or evils, but
rather its purposes and roles in society, the activities these purposes and
roles define, the relationship these have and should have to our social
community and to each of our lives.
