COURSE DESCRIPTION
Ethics & Corporate Accountability focuses on individual managerial responsibility by presenting conceptual and practical tools managers can use to produce better outcomes when faced with difficult ethical dilemmas. It covers legal, ethical, economic, and social considerations relevant to a variety of stakeholder values.
In doing so, the course utilizes a number of current and classic ‘grey area’ case studies and draws from the experience present in the classroom to parse out various approaches to values-based leadership in difficult situations. As a discussion-based course, no view is considered too idealistic or too cynical. The only requirements are real-world experience, respect, and an open mind.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
As a participant in this program, you will:
- Understand basic approaches to ethical thought and how to evaluate them in light of legal and economic concerns.
- Understand how to balance the expectations of multiple stakeholder groups and deliver actionable results.
