| Omschrijving | This course deals with a range of ethical issues related to international business. Examples of ethics issues emerging in international business are—among others—corporate rights, bribery and corruption in a global context, human rights, taxation, inequality. In this course, we will address questions such as: What are the ethical rights and duties of corporations in a global context? Should multinational corporations apply the ethical standards of the countries where they operate or are there universal moral principles? What are the implications of international business on income inequality? Do the wealthy have obligations towards the poor? To address these and related questions we will examine the main theories in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and moral psychology. The course is set up in highly interactive ways, and we devote a large part of the time to a number of important and well known cases from international business ethics by means of collaborative assignments. | ||||||||
