About this course
Workplace choices can affect people in ways that a simple performance measure misses. Guthrie Weinschenk introduces applied ethics through organizational behavior, decision-making examples and the influence that leaders and systems have on what people do.
The course includes a trolley-problem exercise, discussion of corporate ethics and topics such as nudges, manipulation, dark patterns and ethical change. Its focus is developing a way to examine a decision rather than memorizing a list of workplace rules.

No prerequisites are required. The listing describes this as the introductory course in a wider Ethics Certificate sequence; the free individual course does not establish access to that complete program or an included professional qualification.
The perspectives and scoring approaches are teaching frameworks for discussion, not universal answers to every ethical disagreement. Although the instructor has a legal background, these lessons are not tailored legal advice or a substitute for applicable organizational requirements. The useful next step is making assumptions and affected interests explicit when examining a real decision.
