Through the lens of a systems framework this course examines the moral considerations of ethical, social and environmental responsibility.

Balancing local and global perspectives, students will utilize a variety of theories and models for ethics, moral development and living systems to evaluate the range of potential strategic responses and their consequences. In considering the moral dimensions of “responsibility,” students will work to advance their understanding of these challenges and the role of leaders within their organizations and beyond, into their communities and the rest of the world.
