    Text Books

    Business Ethics: A Managerial Approach
    Wicks, A.C. Freeman, R.E. Werhane, P.H. Martin, K.E.. Pearson Prentice Hall, 2010
    ISBN 0-13-142792-X

    In addition, there is a reader that students will need to collect from the ICC.


    Readings
    To keep abreast of current ethical topics and issues – this course is taught with supplementary case videos. These are highly informative, educational and for the most part, produced by the Australian government and/or their related media outlets such as the ABC or SBS. At times these videos can be challenging and confronting in terms of their content – but as is the tenor of this course – students are required to considered the issues from an ethical framework and not necessarily asked to ‘take sides’ or identify their personal position on matters. Rather – consider the issue through a structured 10 step model.

    These cases will form a major part of class room debates and that some of the written cases available in the reader will be discussed in tandem with the video cases – so students should come prepared having read the cases as well reviewed and prepared the questions associated to the videos. As there is a quite a lot of material to cover in each session, the videos will be uploaded onto MyUni for the students to watch in advance.
