CIS 237 - Business Ethics and Consumer Responsibility

The stories behind the extraction of raw materials from the earth or sea, the people who grew or manufactured the stuff we buy, how well or badly they were treated as workers, and the environmental impact of the product life-cycle:  those stories can be both fascinating and exceedingly complex.  How do those stories relate to us as consumers, and as potential employees and managers of corporations?  What does society have a right to expect from corporations in the realm of moral responsibility?  This course will address these and other related questions.
