Spring 2022 Trine Course Catalog

BA 5103 Business Ethics

This course will cover ethics in a systematic and comprehensive way. Students will analyze techniques of moral reasoning and the argumentation needed to analyze moral issues in business. They will raise basic questions about the morality of economic systems, especially the United State. Discuss corporate governance to workers' rights to legitimate computer use. Human behavior and business consistency evolve, this course will mirror the ethical issues raised by those changes, most notably, information technology and the globalization of business. We will discuss the dimension of virtue, character, and caring; three concepts that have taken on increasing importance in recent years. Moral language must be used with care and caution when applied outside of the realm of human individuals and their actions. Special problems arise when considering the morality of corporations, nations and people - problems that concern the meaning of moral terms, and problems that must be faced and clarified if we are to be clear about our moral judgements in these areas.
