Compétence à acquérir :
How and why do ethical questions arise in the daily lives of people working in organizations? What can we learn from real-life examples of organizational ethical failures? How do contemporary leaders deal with ethical questions, in practice, across sectors?
These are some of the questions this course will explore.
The course aims at equipping students with concepts and references allowing them to identify ethical questions they will face in the context of their future professional lives, to apply critical thinking, and to determine their own behavior in a responsible way.
Mode de contrôle des connaissances :
Presence at each session is required. Participation will be taken into account for 20% of the final grading.
An individual homework will account for the remaining 80% of the grading. Each student will be asked to choose one of the sessions and write a short essay (i) summarizing key ideas developed by the speaker and (ii) exposing the student's own reflections based on these ideas.
