SPMT 440 - Ethics in Sport Management

Credits: (3)
Our complex and rapidly changing environment imposes new demands on managers of sport organizations. Increased pressure to address ethical issues is one of the new demands. While there is no simple prescription describing how ethical issues should be dealt with, the purpose of this course is to indicate how managers can more effectively address them. Current issues, ethical dilemmas in the sport environment, organizational responsibility and professional ethics will be discussed. The course provides some essential components of the student’s management tool kit-theories, concepts, models and techniques to use in managing ethical dilemmas. Prerequisite/Corequisite(s): SPMT 127 and SPMT 335 or permission of instructor.
