BUAD - Business Administration

Prerequisite: Sophomore status. An introduction to ethical theory and philosophy with special emphasis on developing an analytical perspective of ethical and social responsibility problems encountered within the firm and in business/society interactions. This includes cultural and demographic diversity, environmental issues, and the impact of business on social structure and systems. Applications and case studies in accounting, economics, finance, information systems, communication, management, marketing, and global business will be included.

As we expand into an increasingly more global economy, the issues related to conducting business in this environment become extremely complex. This course will introduce students to some of the larger issues involved in international business. These issues will be explored from multiple perspectives to gain a better understanding of the complexities that are involved, especially when "solving" one issue may have anticipated and unanticipated impacts on other issues.

Consideration of topics in which courses are not otherwise offered, but for which there is a current need. This course is repeatable for credit.
