Social Justice and Business (BADM 458B)

What rights do individuals have in a free society? What obligations do they have towards others? We will examine these questions from the standpoint of selected classical and contemporary theories of justice such as utilitarianism, libertarianism, and distributive justice and consider their application in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Finally, we will consider the effect of these theories on business regulation in areas such as child labor, affirmative action, the minimum wage, and tax policy.

BADM 458 - Marketing in European Union

This course will focus on the cultural aspects of marketing in a foreign country. We will review and research the basics before departure and continue our studies in North West England at Edge Hill University. The course is open to all majors. Also, it does not have a prerequisite. We will explore the influence of culture, customs, politics, and legal systems on marketing and business. Local markets for autos, gasoline, food, recreation, and housing will be explored. The focus will be on marketing and the economy of the UK and other countries in the EU.
