Full course description
What you'll learn:
Many people believe that there are two primary reasons to act ethically: Acting ethically is the right thing to do from a moral perspective; If you act unethically, then you might get caught and be punished. Neither of these is a bad reason to apply principles of ethics and social responsibility, but it is worth considering another reason, as well. It’s good for business.
In this course you’ll discover how strong ethical behavior leads to strong business results. You’ll look at real case studies of companies whose track records on ethical behavior have had very different outcomes.
