In our course we acknowledge there is no ‘one best way’ in organizing… there are only possible fits and misfifts. We also learn that modern organizing can take multiple, emerging forms
The course in Business Ethics deals with the ethical issues emerging in multinational corporations’ activities, with a focus on sustainability, multiculturalism, human rights, fairness and gender issues.
