MB 530 - Ethical, Social and Environmental Responsibility (SF)
Through the lens of a systems framework this course examines the moral considerations of ethical, social and environmental responsibility. The course explores the ethical and emerging social and environmental pressures and regulations on business enterprises/corporations to develop and execute ethical and responsible policies and practices.
