Profile

One of our main tasks is the implementation and supervision of the MA programme “Business Ethics and CSR Management”, which was launched in 2010.

Our programme was one of the first of its kind in Germany and still stands out from other programmes by its focus on social sciences and philosophy. Our special amalgam of management, social sciences and ethics, taught by experts, experienced in science and practice makes all thedifference – complemented by with the special atmosphere of our small-sized yet international campus in Zittau.

Our staff and many of our students are involved in relevant associations and groups dealing with the ethics of economy and business, e.g. at DNWE, the German Business Ethics Network.

Each October, the Chair organises an annual scientific conference, called Zittau Talks on Ethics of the Economy and Businesses (Zittauer Gespräche zur Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik).
