    Description
    This course will examine ethical issues in business using an interdisciplinary approach drawing from philosophy and business management. This course will analyze the empirical and normative factors involved in choice, types of ethical theory, and the nature of moral standards and judgments in business. Topics will include environmental concerns, the distribution of wealth, informational ethics, privacy and autonomy, affirmative action and "social problems." These will be discussed in the context of moral theories such as utilitarianism, deontology, and ethical egoism.
