Brief about the course
This course explores the numerous ethical dilemmas faced by managers and organizations. A
diverse set of ethical viewpoints will be considered with an emphasis on not only their
implications for ethical behavior but also on the social and cognitive pitfalls that undermine
the ability of business leaders to fulfill their ethical duties. Banks like PNB, ICICI Bank,
Bank of Maharashtra and many public listed firms like Infosys and Tata Sons have faced
such dilemma recently. The course aims to understand the scenarios of ethical dilemma and
challenges which some of these companies and banks have experienced. In the wake of
frauds, which marred the corporate world a course in ethics is all the more important for the
students to understand the importance of ethical conduct in the corporate world.

 Managing Responsibly: Practicing Sustainability, Responsibility and Ethics,
University of Manchester (Jul, 9)

About the Courses: Managers are increasingly confronted with issues of sustainability,
responsibility and ethics. Managing responsibly is an integrative approach to
sustainability, responsibility and ethics, which allows you as a manager to deal
competently with such challenges. This course will facilitate your learning process to
engage in changing practices to make them more sustainable, responsible, and ethically
informed. We will first introduce the context of the trend towards responsible management
practices (week 1). We then explore the basics of each set of issues, sustainability (week
2), responsibility (week 3), and ethics (week 4). In week 5 you will work on your own
responsible management issue/task and explore responsible management practices in an
area of professional interest (e.g. strategy, entrepreneurship, innovation, organization,
operations, supply chain, human resources, marketing and communication, international
management, accounting and finance). In week 6 we will try to understand and experience
what managing responsibly means in practice, including opportunities and challenges, and
with a focus on transformative change. During these last two weeks you will work in a
problem-oriented way, based on a challenging topic you have come across in your own
management practice. In the course we will form multicultural teams to learn about
problems you bring forward. The course also facilitates the formation of peer networks
that allow you to continue this learning experience after finishing the MOOC. The MOOC
is an initiative in collaboration with the UN-supported Principles for Responsible
Management Education (PRME) initiative. Overall Learning Outcomes 1) To provide an
introduction to the three constituting fields of managing responsibly: sustainability,
responsibility and ethics. 2) To help apply the knowledge and insights gained from these
three fields to real life problems in your own setting. 3) To identify, understand and
facilitate individual action that can lead to change at the organizational and system level
...to ‘act is to move’ 4) To learn to appreciate and bring together different points of view,
and negotiate collective solutions to pressing problems.

 Global Impact and Business Ethics, University of Illinois (25 June)

About the Course: Global business ethics is the study and analysis of how ethics and
global business are connected. How we should treat each other and our organizations in
global and local contexts is the topic of this course. Business ethics and corporate
responsibility are inherent in global commerce. Commerce is about markets, and markets
entail exchanges between people and groups of people. So commerce is about human
relationships, and indeed, it could not be otherwise. One of the important challenges in
global business is working out the extent of these obligations in the interrelationships

Page 4 of 18
 between businesses and the particular local cultures in which that business operates. The
ethical issues arising from these engagements, the kinds of values-based considerations
out of which an organization negotiates with local concerns, and how an organization can
be both an enabler of economic value-added while respecting cultural differences will be
topics of this course. Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to: •
Become morally sensitive to ethical dilemmas in global commerce • Identify ethical issues
in global business • Master stakeholder analysis • Address issues from more than one point
of view • Use a well-reasoned process by which to arrive at ethically-defensible decisions
• Evaluate good and weak arguments • Defend your conclusions
