Ethical Leadership

2 Credits.

Students in this course will critically examine ethical questions at the heart of contemporary organizational life. What is a leader’s ethical obligation to the people they serve? How can ethics and pragmatism in business co-exist? Why do individuals within organizations fall prey to unethical behavior? And how can one maintain an ethical compass in a globalized world with competing value claims? Contemporary program-specific topics, such as the ethics of privacy, big data, and automation will also be scrutinized. With cases and empirical research as a backdrop, this highly interactive seminar will help students develop the skills, dispositions, and frameworks required of an effective leader.
