business ethics
Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences
We trust that you are going to enjoy this module – especially in light of the fact that the module focuses on the highly relevant issue of ethics in the workplace, corporate social responsibility and the institutionalisation of ethics.
The module is part of the study terrain called applied ethics which focuses on micro-, meso- and macro-ethics. Micro-ethics presupposes a basic knowledge of prominent ethical theories and the application thereof to ethical issues in the workplace. Meso-ethics investigates the role of business as corporate citizen, with a specific focus on the impact of business on society and the environment. Macro-ethics studies the thinking that underpins economic systems, such as neoliberalism, socialism and Marxism.
