In this course, you'll be introduced to business ethics. You'll consider what ethical business behaviour involves and the potential consequences of behaving unethically, for organisations and individual employees. You'll also learn how to approach ethical decisions in a business context.This course was developed with subject matter support provided by the law firm of Jackson McDonald.
