Module Description

Business Ethics is a vague term which means different things to different people. At its most fundamental level, business ethics involves businesses doing what is right, just or moral. As stated by Professor Richard T. De George (2005), in one sense "ethics in business is simply the application of everyday moral or ethical norms to business."

Unfortunately, everyday moral and ethical norms differ among people and, therefore, will differ among businesses. It only follows that a discussion of business ethics must begin with a discussion of ethics in general.

This module will explore the different schools of thought regarding ethics and how they may be applied to businesses. The module will also include a discussion of debtor and creditor rights and how one might ethically utilize those rights.
