COM 580 - Ethics and Conflict in Organizations

Catalog Year: 2016-2017

This course will provide students with the opportunity to apply classic and modern ethics theories to organizational and professional situations, using a specific lens that sees the study of ethics as learning “the goods” that are protected and promoted by participants in relationships, organizations and societies. Ethics become an issue in relationships and workplaces when there is a conflict between understandings about what is “good” or when there is a conflict between the goods protected and promoted by individuals. In order to understand an ethical position, we must understand what the other party is protecting and promoting in a given situation. The course focuses on using the language of conflict mediation studies to understand ethics and conflict as they exist and interact in relationships and organizations.

Prerequisite: Graduate standing.
Offered: Not on a regular basis.
Credit: 3
