INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS ETHICS
INTENT:
The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to models
and perspectives useful for evaluating the moral dilemmas imbedded in
decision making in the modern business. Three levels of ethical concern -
the personal, the organizational and the systemic will be discussed. On
each level we will apply three different ways of looking at morality in
applied settings. One will be to simply understand the facts, that is to
describe or explain the actual moral beliefs of the individual, group or
corporate culture, making no assumptions whatsoever about the validity of
these beliefs and convictions. Secondly, we will focus on meta-ethics, that
is an analysis of the person, organization or systemic meaning and
justification of moral beliefs and convictions. For example, how is it
possible, if it is at all, to defend or provide a rationale for the moral beliefs
and convictions adhered to by persons, organizations or systems? Thirdly,
we will turn to normative ethics, the pursuit, at each level of inquiry of
what moral convictions and beliefs we ought to hold.
The student will employ his or her skills to work through the
descriptive, meta-ethics and normative ethics of persons, organizations and
systems in selected cases focusing upon such topics as corporate loyalty,
workaholism, falsifying reports, whistle blowing, workplace justice, due-
process and cbnflict of interest.

(8) New Courses:
BUS 394-3 Selected Topics in Business Administration
BUS 395-3 Selected Topics in Business Administration
The Undergraduate Curriculum Committee of thje Faculty of Business
Administration approved these new courses at its April 28, 1989 meeting.
The course descriptions will be the same as those for the existing Selected
Topics courses (492, 493, 494, 495, 496):
The subject matter will vary from semester to semester depending
upon the interests of faculty and Ludents. Prerequisites: Permission
of the Faculty; 60 credit hours.
Rationale:
The existing 400-division selected topics numbers have proved very
convenient for experimenting with new courses, for drawing on specialized
expertise of visiting faculty, for offering occasional supplements to existing
curricula to advanced undergraduates. In many semesters these numbers
are fully utilized. They are not fully appropriate, however, for courses that
should be offered at the 300 division. This results either in our limiting
experimentation and enrichment, at the 300 division or in our offering 400
division credit for courses offered at a lower level.

BUS 484 Workplace Industrial Relations
Course Description:
The administration of the day-to-day employment relationships in both
unionized and non-unionized settings. Workplace industrial relations as a
system of resolving conflicts between employee and employer interests and its
implications for the attainment of due process in the workplace and the
flexibility and efficiency of work organization.
Topics:
1.
Workplace industrial relations: Analytical framework
2.
Attaining due process in the workplace
Procedural and substantive issues in the grievance procedure
Alternative conflict resolution procedures
Non-union complaint handling systems
OUtcomes of workplace due process
3.
Regulation of work organization
The role of work rules in union and non-union settings
Work organization through employee and union involvement
Alternative work arrangements
4.
Management efficiency and employee rights: Are they mutually exclusive?
Rationale:
Existing industrial relations courses (BUEC 384, Industrial Relations and
BUEC 385, Collective Bargaining) devote only modest attention to this area of
increasing academic and professional interest. Course work in this area has
been offered under "Selected Topics" titles
?
and has been
assessed favourably by faculty and students.
An expanding body of research material and a rising rate of professional
innovation and experimentation make the topic of interest to students
considering a career in human resources management and related fields.

Faculty
that
of
BUEC
B
232-3, Elementary
Economic and Business Statistics I, be added to the list of courses whose
satisfactory completion is required of students applying for admission to these
programs in the Faculty of Business Administration.
BUEC 232 is at present a required course for these programs, is a prerequisite to
the also-required BUEC 333-3, Elementary Economic and Business Statistics II,
and is a prerequisite and useful tools course for a number of other business
courses.
Students uneasy about their quantitative abilities tend to
•
postpone taking BUEC
232 until after their admission to one of the programs in the Faculty. This delay
in taking 232 and subsequent courses for which it is necessary gives such
students only a temporary benefit since performance in BUEC 232 is a good
predictor of performance in a number of upper division courses in business. The
absence of 232 as a requirement for admission leads, at the margin, to the
rejection of students more likely to be successful in the program than some of
those admitted.
Adding BUEC 232 to the list of courses required for admission to these programs
in the Faculty, combined with the proposed changes in prerequisites for 232,
results in a simplification of the Faculty of Business Administration section of the
Calendar. It does so by making the courses required for admission identical to
the Faculty's lower division requirements, thus eliminating the need for the
somewhat confusing presentation of two almost-identical course listings.
*Note: If Senate also approves the Joint Major, Business Administration and
Psychology, the admission requirements for that Joint Major would be flagged to
note that applicants for this program only, with the advance approval
of
the
Faculty
of
Business Administration, would be able to substitute PSYC 210 for
BUEC 232. The detail is given in the Joint Major proposal which follows.
Implementation:
This revision to the requirements for admission would first appear in the
1990/91 issue of the University Calendar, and would take effect for admission to
the Fall 1991 and subsequent semesters. This delay will give prospective
students the opportunity to satisfy the new requirements, and colleges that do
not have articulated acceptable transfer credit some lead time to develop them if
they wish to do so.

Business Statistics II, for the combination of PSYCH 210-3, Data
Analysis in Psychology and
PSYCH
301-3, Intermediate Research

(B) RATIONALE:
a)
Psychology is at least as central to Organizational Behaviour as is
any other discipline.
b)
Psychology graduates and Organizational Behaviour graduates
often seek and obtain the same professional jobs (e.g. in such fields as
human resource management, organizational development, and
industrial psychology) or seek and obtain places in the same
professionally -focused graduate programs.
c)
Each group has weaknesses the other lacks:
The Psychology graduates are weaker on organizational
applications and organizational realities. The Organizational
tole
Behaviour graduates are weaker on conceptual and
methodological training.
It is believed that the interaction between the two sets of courses,
and the presence in both Psychology and Organizational Behaviour
courses of students with these differing backgrounds would be
intellectually stimulating and pedagogically sound.
