Comments/contents

Students will acquire knowledge of theoretical concepts of business ethics (e.g. Shared Value and Political CSR) that will then be applied to practices of international companies.

Learning objectives

The students will be enabled to apply their learnings to specific practical problems and reflect upon the ethical aspects of business behavior.

Didactic concept

The seminar partly took place within the MIBAS Summer School. Students are required to write a paper and give a presentation to earn credit points. The seminar is thus divided as follows: it usually starts with a kick-off meeting at which the students will be briefed on the overall subject of the seminar. They will then be allocated as individual presentation topics. Later on, the groups come together in a second meeting to present and discuss the assigned topics. In the aftermath, the participants will write a short paper. Introductory literature will be provided following the kick-off meeting. Students benefit from regular feedback given by the lecturers and peers.
