Module Business Value of Data and Technology information session
During the online information session on Thursday, July 10 at 12:30 PM, core faculty member Gerard Wijers will provide a glimpse into the module Business Value of Data and Technology. This is a great opportunity to explore whether the challenges you are working on align with the focus of this module. This module is taught in English.
Introduction
What pays, what is allowed and what is right? Companies operate on the market, they are bound by laws and the state, and are expected to act ethically. Seemingly straightforward, this situation is actually full of paradoxes and dilemmas; what is profitable is not always ethical and what is morally right is not necessarily legal. Our module Business Ethics in context helps you recognize and explore the interfaces between these three fields (Market, Law/Government and Ethics), allowing you to better understand the social role and responsibilities of your organization.
What will you get out of it?
- Knowledge on the fundamental ideas of theoretical ethics: virtue ethics, deontology, consequentialism, evolutionary ethics.
- Knowledge on the insights from applied business ethics: a) ethics of internet, b) ethics of AI, c) ethics of management, d) ethics of hrm, e) ethics of marketing.
- Familiarity with the history of the state-market-nexus from France in the 18th century up until ‘trumpenomics’.
- A final essay and assessment showing how you have applied what you have learned to your own business case.
What our participants say
""The MBA helped me with a real-life case at work""
“This part of my MBA has absolutely broadened my academicals knowledge and more importantly it helped me with a real-life case at work. Better understanding the sheer zones between market, law and business ethics helped me create a successful new business proposition for our customers”

Curriculum
What are you going to do?
- Market (is it profitable?)
- Law/ Government (is it allowed?)
- Ethics (is it the good thing to do?)
Overall the special ‘take away’ of this module is the integrative approach. The module aims at helping managers to become broad-minded and to approach business problems in a multi-disciplinary way. We roughly discern three perspectives:
- Micro: your leadership and moral capacity
- Meso: the situation in a certain company within a certain sector
- Macro: worldwide developments
There are three blocks of two days:
- Block 1: ethics of the internet + introduction to law + key insights & ethics of marketing
- Block 2: theory of ethics + ethics of management and hrm + history of state-market-nexus
- Block 3: theory of ethics + ICT-law + insight in major ethical dilemma’s of Shell
Create your own MBA
We understand combining work, study and personal life can be quite a challenge. That is why we have developed a modular MBA program. You create your own MBA and follow one or more modules or a complete MBA (containing a minimum of two track modules (specializations), six basic modules, the international study trip and the MBA thesis).
