Business ethics courses taught in colleges and universities are sometimes thought to be primarily about making students more ethical. However, this is typically, not what business ethics regards as their primary task. Rather, business ethics faculty typically regard their job as one of helping students to understand the complex ethical issues managers must confront, best practices with respect to ethical management, and sound public policy regarding the relationship of business to society. You will discuss the legal and ethical issues surrounding the historic product liability case mentioned in most Business Ethics books as the Ford Pinto case.
You will need to research the company through the University. We also have additional sources created for our class. Please use this link: https://apus.libguides.com/BUSN623 ( select the tab for Business & Legal Issues created for this course)
