Welcome to Module #2! The broad theme we will study in this module is ‘ethical responsibilities of organizations.

Ethics are beliefs about what is right and wrong or good and bad. An individual’s personal values and morals—and the social context in which they occur—determine whether a particular behaviour is perceived as ethical or unethical. In other words, ethical behaviour is behaviour that conforms to individual beliefs and social norms about what is right and good. Unethical behaviour is behaviour that individual beliefs and social norms define as wrong and bad. In this chapter/module the we cover the very broad topic of business ethics – that is to say the ethical or unethical behaviours by a business’s manager or employee.
