Description
This course examines advances in organizational and business ethics research. It presents ethics as a transversal notion essential for understanding challenges in all disciplines of business administration. Students gain a theoretical and practical perspective on ethical issues faced in various organizations, enhancing their critical thinking skills for future academic and professional endeavors.
The objective of this course is to familiarize participants with the multiple ethical "traditions" that combine or clash in today's complex, globalized, and postmodern world. The course also aims to train participants in various theories and approaches in research and pedagogy in the field. The notion of tradition, developed by Anthony Giddens, refers both to particular ways of approaching reality, whether economic, social, or environmental, and acting upon it through the use of specific models, approaches, or tools. The course aims to develop a critical understanding of ethical research theories and methodologies, while adopting a pluralistic perspective that values the contributions of each tradition, thus avoiding a moralizing approach.
This course explores fundamental ethical theories, such as deontology, virtue ethics, and consequentialism, but also integrates perspectives from political economy, psychology and sociology, among others. Special attention is given to contemporary ethical issues, particularly those related to the development and deployment of AI in organizations. This interdisciplinary approach enables doctoral students to develop a nuanced understanding of current ethical challenges facing organizations.
