Does your organization have an ethics challenge you want to tackle? Business professionals, unfamiliar with ethical inquiries, often find themselves struggling with ethical issues in such areas as finance, human resource management, marketing, and many other areas in business. Students will explore ethical theories from a multi-stakeholder approach and apply ethical reasoning to an issue facing your organization. They will analyze select readings and case studies to explore key ethical principles and the various ways in which business professionals and ethical theorists address issues that commonly arise in the business world. Upon completion of the project, you will receive a detailed report and presentation.

As a result of changing consumer expectations, organizations are being drawn into supporting or not supporting movements for political, environmental and social change based on the perception of the organization’s brand with consumers. Given the reputational risk involved with being on the “wrong side” of a movement or issue for social change, organizations are increasingly in need of understanding the foundations, theories, and stages of social, environmental and political movements. This project will involve 8-10 students registered in a political studies course dealing with the international economic system, global economic development, international relations issues such as population growth, environmental problems, disparities of wealth and resources, civic activism, the struggle for and against globalization, and advocacy.
