This course offers an introduction into the concept of values, morality, as well as cultural beliefs and upbringing in all areas of business, from consumer rights to corporate social responsibility and project management. Students review the major ethical issues facing project managers and managers alike. The course looks at the specific challenges project leaders may confront as they deal with team members, vendors, stakeholders, and sponsors. Decisions made by managers or corporate presidents may affect thousands of individuals or entire communities. Consumers today expect and demand integrity, honesty, and transparency in all levels of their environment. Understanding those expectations is the key to communicating core values and behavior not only to employees, but society in general.
