English Abstract:	This course will introduce you to the theoretical approaches, dimensions and practical oriented techniques of Business Ethics. You will be engaged in discussions and exercises reflecting the theory and requiring the application of theory to practical problems. Ultimately, the course will position you to provide additional value to your individual management style and/or to your capability to realize a different, more sustainable management style. In short words, the subject of Business Ethics addresses what can be considered morally right and wrong in the way businesses make decisions and conduct their activities. The course covers the foundations of business ethics and applying these theories, concepts and tools to each of the corporation's major stakeholders. It considers the implications of three major challenges facing the corporation: corporate citizenship, globalization and sustainability. By the end of this course -assuming you have attended classes, completed the assessments and undertaken the recommended amount of independent study - you should be able to: describe, explain and apply concepts relating to ethical reasoning and frameworks for ethical analysis in a business context; discuss the extent and nature of ethical problems and concerns as they face business decision makers; discuss issues pertinent to business from an ethical perspective; understand the social and environmental demands that impinge on business decision makers; undertake a thorough investigation of an area of ethical concern in the realm of business. Since the course is a virtual classroom course there is no typical exam. All parts of the exam are done within the 8 weeks of the course. Mainly there are three different accademic assesments: Dicussion contributions within the forums of the course, a quiz-based recapitukalion test and a group-based case work paper.
