Course Description

Ethical behavior is more noticeable in corrupt environments than in ethical ones; it is easier for an ethical company to stand out in a corrupt environment. Organizations should view the prospect of building a strong ethical reputation in such settings as an opportunity and consider the costs of resisting corruption as an investment in building such a reputation.

This session addresses how organizations can go about being ethical in a corrupt environment and how they should frame their ethical behavior in a way that resonates with as vast a network of ethically sensitive stakeholders as possible.

Learning Objectives:


  • Identify and respond to ethical dilemmas in corrupt environments

  • Evaluate the implications of unethical behavior on personal and organizational reputation
