[This course will be delivered in a Prof + Prof model. For more information on the professional co-teaching the course, click here.] This course helps business students examine the role of business in society. Modern society is dependent upon private enterprise to supply the world’s demand, but industrialization and other technological advancements have contributed to a risky global landscape. The four modules of the course – Markets, Organizations, Communities, and the World – explore, respectively, the intersection of that risk landscape with the free market, ethical leadership in organizations, business organizations in communities, and sustainable capitalism in the world. This course expands on the individual contributions to ethical business practices by exploring the role of organizational managers and stakeholders addressing business in society challenges. The course will integrate additional content from literature and the arts as part of the learning process.Prerequisites: BETH 300 or BETH 301, and BLAW 300, 301, 302 or 303 and Sophomore standing

College is often a time for students to both learn skills to earn a livelihood and ask big questions about one’s purposeful vocation in life. This seminar will explore alignment and conflict between these two important goals. On one hand, participants will examine personal fit within a market economy. On the other hand, they will examine the work they may feel called by their heart, faith, and/or society to do. In doing so, participants will read about, watch, and meet  professionals who are grappling with similar tensions between money, which they need to live, and meaning, which they need to flourish. The seminar provides students with the opportunity to examine “common good” endeavors in the for-profit and/or non-profit sectors. In the process, students will inquire about the possibility of developing themselves as principled leaders and finding meaningful work that also sustains them, their families, and the common good. While much of the course content involves philosophical reflection, much of the course outcomes are practically oriented toward personal and professional development. Prerequisites: Junior standing.

This course explores whether or not traditional concepts associated with the human person, business, and law are capable of addressing changes introduced by technology and its rapid evolution.  In particular, students will be asked to consider whether concepts associated with property, privacy, rights, justice, and the good can accommodate technological innovations such as automation, decision-making by algorithms, big data, and the "de-skilling" of work.  What might this mean for "meaningful work" in the future?  What might it mean for education and culture?  Will technology create an electronic Panopticon, substituting a world governed by big data and a lack of privacy for Weber’s “iron cage?"  In the process, students should ask whether or not technological innovation is outpacing the ability of traditional concepts in business, the law, and philosophy to properly address deeper questions associated with promoting the human good.
