With this course, you will embark in a journey where you will discover unsuspected aspects of the environment in which business is taking place. You will be invited to better know yourself, to see others differently, and you will develop your ability to turn ethical dilemmas into opportunities rather than traps.The main objective is to prepare you to deal with some of the toughest choices you will face in your career: business ethical dilemmas.Business ethical dilemmas occur in stressful contexts. In these decision-making situations, denying the ethical dimension is a weak and risky expedient, while focusing on self-justification will often prove insufficient. As ethical issues have become increasingly manifest and pervasive in the business world, being aware, being prepared, and being able to decode how ethics combines with business, for better or for worse, is becoming a must for present and future leaders.A selection of key business ethical issues will be discussed in details, based on real cases and on carefully selected academic papers. A rigorous decision-making framework, with tools and typical strategies will be proposed, discussed and illustrated, at the individual and at the corporate levels. Relying on what I like to call "Ethical Rationality", we will focus on a rational approach to the trade-offs between ethical values and business values. Issues of reputation, credibility and communication will be specifically addressed.Increased awareness, personal commitment, and practice of the proposed methodology, will empower you to better act in situations involving ethical issues.
