Students will be required to consider a variety of possible solutions for these dilemmas and to explore the ethical consequences of those solutions. The design of the course, and the associated assessment items, will result in students developing a holistic understanding of ethical business practice and ethical business research along with the associated issues, challenges and consequences of ethical decision making.
