Overview
With the current business environment truly being global, creating an ethical and diverse organization is very important. Building an ethical and diverse organization goes far beyond a mere knowledge of regulations however; it’s also about actively building an organizational culture that is based on ethical behavior and diversity awareness. Ethical issues confront organizations whatever line of business they might be in.
The debates and dilemma surrounding business ethics have tended to attract an enormous amount of attention from various quarters. Consumers and pressure groups appear to be increasingly demanding firms to seek out more ethical and ecologically sounder ways of doing business. The media also constantly seems to be keeping the spotlight on corporate abuses and malpractices. And even firms themselves appear to be increasingly recognizing that being ethical (or at the very least being seen as being ethical) may actually be good for business.
Programme Objectives
The programme provides the means to appreciate and understand business ethics. It helps to improve ethical decision making by providing managers and leaders with the appropriate knowledge and tools that allow them to correctly identify, diagnose, analyze, and provide solutions to the ethical problems and dilemmas they are confronted with.
Business malpractices have the potential to inflict enormous harm on individuals, on communities and the environment. The programme will assist managers and leaders to understand more about the causes and consequences of these malpractices and identify ways of avoiding and managing them.
