Course Overview

The economic philosophy of the state is evolving, and over the past few decades, businesses have witnessed immense liberalisation, globalisation, and privatisation. With these changes, ethical business plays a significant role in facilitating proactive economic developments.

The eight-week programme offers an all-encompassing curriculum including topics like corporate social responsibility, social audit, marketing ethics, ethical value system, and more. 

Apart from the extensive knowledge about Indian values and ethics, the Business Ethics training programme also explains in detail the Gandhian philosophy of ethical behaviour. For a practical understanding of the ethical concepts, students can access global and local case studies about the same.

The Business Ethics online programme is free of cost, and students must only pay the exam fee if they want certification.
