Business Ethics

Our course helps you to identify some of your values and moral principles to have some tools to make better decision.

Introduction

What exactly makes a decision ethical? The problem with ethics is that what may seem morally right (or ethical) to one person may seem appalling to another , workshop will not provide you with an easy way to solve every ethical decision you will ever have to make. It will, however, help you define your ethical framework to make solving those ethical dilemmas easier. We’ll also look at some tools that you can use when you’re faced with an ethical decision. And, we’ll look at some techniques you can use so you don’t get stuck in an ethical quandary. Best of all, we’ll look at a lot of case studies so that you can practice making decisions in a safe environment.

“Ethics is not definable, is not implementable, because it is not conscious; it involves not only our thinking, but also our feeling”

Valdemar W. Setzer
