About this Unit
The purpose of this unit is to explore through reflection and social inquiry the complex relationships between businesses and their stakeholders, critically evaluating social and political impacts of business decisions and practices and the challenges and ethical dilemmas emerging in the context of global capitalism. Students will examine these relationships within the framework of the development of capitalism, considering the importance of government roles to regulate the impacts of business actions on society and vice versa. It emphasises the social responsibility of the firm and the role of ideology used to justify the actions of business, society and government.
