Corporate Governance,Law and Ethics

CLAW6028

This unit explores the relationship between business law and ethical principles in contemporary corporate governance and professional practice. As well as equipping students with an understanding of current legal requirements regarding business and professional conduct, the unit endeavours both to sensitize students to the range of ethical issues that today's managers and business professionals may face, and to provide a range of ethical frameworks that may assist them in addressing and resolving ethical conflicts. Students will have the opportunity to think critically about the underlying principles and assumptions that are the foundation of ethics in business and the professions. The unit uses case studies to examine legal and ethical dilemmas and decisions in key fields of business and professional practice, including business law, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, marketing and advertising, and information technology.
