Material Detail

This textbook introduces students to the foundations of business ethics. It was built around the information contained in the Pearson Publishing textbook, "Ethics at Work" by Robert Hunt, Mathew Hunt, and Barbara Cox, Pearson/Prentice Hall, 2005.

Does business have any legitimate role other than making a profit? What else matters … or should matter? Can you tell the difference between honorable and inappropriate behavior in the workplace? In this course, we will examine traits of ethical people and ethical organizations, e.g., integrity, character, honesty, and self-control. In small groups and individually, you will reflect upon how these values play out in real life.

Business Ethics is not about the technical expertise needed to firm up a drill site or secure a patient's medications. You need not worry about “touchy-feely” discussions. This course is about real skills you demonstrate that enable your boss and teammates to trust you to "do the right thing." Here, you will explore guidelines for making sound, ethical decisions. You will go back to home, school and work with PRACTICAL knowledge.
