Teaching Event - Apple, Amazon, Alibaba: The Ethics of Digital Business

Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to explore the ethical dilemmas around issues like artificial intelligence, speech on digital platforms, regulating gig workers, winner-take-all markets, big data, and gender disparities in Silicon Valley. "Apple, Amazon, Alibaba" explores digital and platform businesses, ethical decision-making in management, and the social issues that emerge as the influence of digital businesses grows.

This course delves into how perspectives from business ethics, including virtue ethics, deontology, utilitarianism, and deconstruction, can provide insight into ethical behavior. While it does not provide a prescriptive guide to ethical behavior, it introduces students to a set of frameworks they can apply to the practical ethical dilemmas they will face as they engage with digital businesses in the future.

The course is exclusively for enrolled students, but we share this description to provide insights into our teaching-related events, reflecting our commitment to delivering valuable educational experiences.
