New Course: MGT5019 Ethics in Business September 9, 2006
Posted by thinkphd in : MGT5031, MGT5019, Courses , trackbackI am officially enrolled in my second course at NCU: MGT5019 Ethics in Business, with Dr. Charles Chrzanowski as Mentor. Dr. Chrzanowski’s bio includes: J.D.- Law, University of Bridgeport School of Law; B.S.-Law Enforcement Administration, University of New Haven; A.S.-Mechanical Engineering, Norwalk State Technical School. He has the course discussion forum set up with one folder per week. I am not sure if this means he is expecting weekly posts or not.
The course has eight assignments, and includes article reviews, case studies, a final project paper and a “journal.” There will be a lot of writing in this course, both related to the readings as well as reflective or personal application. Our text is:
Carroll, Archie B. & Ann K. Buchholtz (2003): Business & Society: Ethics and Stakeholder Mangement (5th ed.). Cincinnati: South-Western Publishing. ISBN 0-324-11495-8
A few days ago I posted in the Learners forum looking for this text, but last night I found it pretty cheap on Amazon…..$6.79 including shipping. The book retails new for $132.95. I think that is a pretty sweet deal.
I plan to turn in my final paper from MGT5031 today. But time is getting away from me, as we are supposed to go to the Big City to see our daughter and pick up two recliners that her grandparents let her use. She does not have room for them, as she just got new living room furniture. I hope Husband will feel like riding to the Big City with me to get the chairs. It will be like a 2-hr date with my sweetheart.
My responsibilities as a mother, sweetheart, and employee have not changed. Going to school is easy. Going to school while life continues to happen is not!

Hi,
I am also enrolled at Northcentral in the PhD program for Business Administration and will be taking my sixth class in November. I plan on taking the MGT5019 course and would like your opinion on the instructor and overall course. Also, have you found a need for the use of the InfoTrac code that comes with the book, as I have found several books at a cheap price, but I am not sure if I will need the InfoTrac information code or not.
I know how you feel about class time getting away, as life goes on and some instructors forget that we still have a home life to take care of, a job that must be taken care of, thus, very little time for anything else. Going to school with a full adult life is not an easy chore!
Hi William,
This course has a lot of writing (8 assignments) and we use the 5th edition. Keep in mind that each instructor is different, and I see nothing in the syllabus that indicates that we need an InfoTrac code. Dr. C. has been great with responding quickly to my questions. You make an excellent point about class time getting away - life certainly does not slow down for us to finish our papers. Thanks for reading and good luck with your studies!
