Contents:

This second foundation course of the specialization explores the interface between ethical theories and research in business and management studies. Drawing on the literature of business ethics and related fields of inquiry (such as CSR, sustainability, ESG etc.) this course will contextualize ethics in management and focus on the specific challenges for moral action in organizational settings and responsible leadership (“ethics in the wild”). This will also include the discussion of challenges that derive for the application of advanced digital technology (AI) in organizational contexts. Descriptive and normative theories will be discussed to develop students’ ability to understand and assess ethics in and of business. The module will focus on complementarities and tensions between empirical and normative approaches to ethics. Finally, the module will highlight the applicability and the impact of ethical theories in and for practice.
