Comment/Description

Within the field of business ethics, the relatively new domain of behavioral business ethics has emerged. In contrast to the normative question of how individuals should decide and behave in business contexts, research in behavioral business ethics is mainly interested in why and how people actually take ethical decisions. Specifically, it often aims at understanding personal and situational factors that may cause a gap between an actor’s willingness to behave ethically, and his or her actual behavior. To address its questions, behavioral ethics draws on behavioral psychology, experimental economics, cognitive science and related fields.
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to important questions, methodologies, and research results of the field of behavioral business ethics. We will discuss various approaches and findings, and explore their implications for a modern understanding of business ethics.

Please keep in mind that the course is held in English!
