Business Ethics

Classical and contemporary ethical theories are applied to the policies and practices of domestic and international business, with the end in view of considering, or establishing, criteria by means of which such policies and practices might be realistically evaluated, morally and ethically. Relevant topics may include the relationship between law and ethics; duties and responsibilities among employers, employees, stockholders, the public, and the environment; and issues involved in hiring, retention, marketing, investment, information disclosure, accounting, and advertising.
