Description

Hardly a day goes by when organizational wrongdoing is not among the headlines—from the misuse of data and sports scandals to interpersonal behaviors such as cheating and sexual misconduct. In this course, we will address these issues, among others, as we examine wrongdoing in and by organizations. We will explore the structural and cultural conditions that increase the likelihood of misconduct, as well as the steps that organizations can take to prevent such behavior. While some misconduct discussed in the course is the result of greed or the desire to do harm, we will also consider how wrongdoing can be unintentional or a product of benign organizational practices that can be avoided. To this end, we will ask why ethical people sometimes engage in unethical behavior.
