The contemporary business landscape carries deep-seated ethical values and assumptions that stem from political, economic, institutional, and cultural foundations. A variety of agents (managers, leaders, social entrepreneurs) and institutional arrangements (ethical codes, corporate social responsibility, sustainability partnering) are involved in managing and transforming these values and associated practices. In this unit students will examine the ethics of business, the origins and assumptions underpinning these ethics, and the agents and institutional arrangements that manage them. Recognising that ethical responsibility can never be safely or fully outsourced to others, students are led through a structured program that develops their awareness of their own value systems and their individual abilities to voice ethical issues to have real social impact in their professional lives.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
