<p>The module sees organisations and businesses as citizens and stewards who are equally bound by ethical responsibility as individuals are. It begins with the basic assumption: Organisations that are led responsibly at a strategic level impact the ethical competence of individuals and groups. It considers the evolution of business as a socially responsible activity where constant improvement and sustainability is rooted in ethical awareness and action and adopts a broad perspective taking into account a range of stakeholder interests. Students consider questions such as, “what is a responsible business,” “what is the global impact of being in business” and “can ethical businesses be commercially successful?” Students explore attempts at universalizing business ethics in the international political arena. Students will be engaged in considering their own values and beliefs through reflexive recognition that ethical leadership begins with one’s own worldview. There is a combination of taught elements, discovery and autonomous learning, as well as classroom co-creation. The discussions will be launched from a critical perspective of leadership and the understanding that the field of ethics concerns systems of culture, tradition, institutionalisation, power and valuation: good/bad, right/wrong, benevolence/evil, and justice/injustice. Together students will explore how the two fit together in theory and in the real world.</p>
