...philosophical issues that challenge the conduct of ethics as a rational enterprise, exposes students to major traditions in philosophical normative ethics and applies those traditions to specific value conflicts in the business world. A critical thinking component is included in the course. Specific problems relating to topics such as corporate responsibility, employee rights, and the nature of the free enterprise system, environmental concern and ethical business practices. In deciding how to act, managers reveal their inner values, test their commitment to those values, and ultimately shape their characters. In general, Ethics is both an academic “subject” and a thoughtful way of doing things. Theoretical Ethics is that branch of Philosophy concerned with determining what is right (with regard to principles and actions) and what is good (what ends or ideals are worth pursuing and what values are worth holding). Practical Ethics is the art or techne (know-how) of figuring out how to make things better rather than worse with regard to concrete or actual situations. Business Ethics is a type of applied ethics. As such, it is concerned with principles applied and actions taken in the workplace and the boardroom. At the same time, since business practice is inseparable from the rest of human life, Business Ethics has to take account of the well-being of human society and the natural environment.

...Abstract This report discusses the details of the evolution of Apollo Group, Inc. [University of Phoenix] and the various marketing methods it used to become one of the premier for-profit educational institutions, and the various obstacles the company has been through to claim the spot that it currently holds, in the business, and education arenas. It should be noted that much of Apollo Group, Inc. [University of Phoenix] success, lies on the fact that they were the first institution that pioneered online education. They have paved the way that other institutions mimic when attempting to venture in this type of setting. As a result they have capitalized on this and have used the lessons learned to leverage their brand into other areas, such as online high school education, and international markets. However, as Apollo Group, Inc. innovates, and their profits grow, the other educational institutions have been cautious about the true value of the quality associated with their degrees; the federal government has been attentive on Apollo Group, Inc.’s practices associated in recruiting students. Due to these complications Apollo Group, Inc. has had to examine its ethics policy, in order to mitigate these threats, and consequently a: Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis, was conducted. With regards to the SWOT analysis, it is recommended that Apollo Group, Inc. should focus on eliminating its threats first or at the very least mitigate them. Since...

...I DIDN’T DO IT Abstract This report is comprised of the three primary values/virtues I believe an Ethical leader should poses in the modern business marketplace. 1. Diligence 2. Reliability 3. Forbearance With each of these values I have argued my position using examples of real life incidents where a single decision lead to tragedy. The research was conducted mainly through legally produced documents from each incidents inquiry into the events which caused each independent situation. I have used moral theory to relate these situations to modern business ethics, this gives practical application to ethical decision making and leadership skills. The summation of findings concludes that the values and virtues required of an ethical leader is far more extensive than I originally thought and is not limited to the primary three that I have chosen to argue. Major financial tragedies like the 2008 financial crisis, can only be attributed to unethical decision making. I believe there can be a definitive list, but not limited to, three primary value/virtues of an ethical leader. In the following report I intend to argue for what I believe to be the three values/virtues of leaders ( as section headings) who possess not great decisions making skills, but one step beyond that into ethical decision making skills. I will argue my position through a brief analysis of situations in which a single decision gave way to a multitude of unethical behaviours and even tragedy through...
