Business Ethics
Corporate governance, insider trading, discrimination, and fiduciary responsibility get treated as concrete ethical dilemmas rather than abstract philosophy in this Saylor Academy course, which asks how a manager applies critical thinking when policy and conscience pull in different directions. At about 14 hours, it is one of Saylor's shorter offerings, built from articles, recorded lectures, and video, and it closes with a course exam. A free certificate and ACE credit recommendation are available on completion. Corporate social responsibility gets particular attention, tying ethical reasoning to the same governance failures, like the Enron accounting scandal, that later reshaped business law. The syllabus and introduction video are visible without creating an account.
