20112 Business Ethics and Sustainability

Description

In this subject, students explore the breadth and depth of ethical issues confronting contemporary organisations as they relate to general business practice and social and ecological sustainability. They examine major philosophical conceptualisations of ethics and apply these to critically analyse both theory and practice. The subject places particular emphasis on developing ethical vocabulary and ethical argumentation so that they are better equipped to successfully carry an ethically informed subjectivity into their organisational practice. This subject provides students with various frameworks for incorporating and critically evaluating sustainability in organisational practices and decision-making.
