Brian Burton, an Associate Professor in the Department of Management, teaches a course entitled Ethics in Business Decisions. Dr. Burton developed a decision-making framework for students to use to discuss cases featuring ethical dilemmas. During the course of the quarter, students are encouraged to apply this framework to identify key issues and to decide how to choose between alternative resolutions of the ethical dilemmas presented in the cases.
