The principal aim of this unit is to provide students with an understanding of the myriad of ethical issues and dilemmas faced by managers in corporate, not-for-profit or government sectors. Issues explored will relate both to the society and environment within which organisations and their managers operate, and to individuals employed within organisations. The unit has a strong research focus and students will apply the theoretical knowledge gained in the course to real-world situations. This will equip them to engage with the complex ethical issues that will inevitably arise during the course of their careers.
