MGT 3100 - Values, Business Ethics, and Corporate Responsibility


This course enables students to prepare themselves to act in accordance with their ethical intentions when business issues with ethical ramifications arise. It exposes students to corporate responsibility and business ethics through reading, discussion, research, and reflection. However, this course is about more than the narrow question “What should I do?” Primarily, it is about our desire to live a good life–a life that is successful, honorable, and full of meaning. As such, this course will help students contemplate the overarching question “How do I want to live my life?”
