Position description


The Ron Joyce Centre for Business Studies/Commerce Department at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Allison University invites applications for a part-time stipendiary appointment in Sackville to teach a course entitled COMM3311A-Business Ethics. This course deals with principles and practices of business ethics, particularly in Canada and North America. Issues investigated may include personal and group decision-making for resolving ethical dilemmas, stakeholder analysis, business-government relationships, corporate social responsibilities, corporate governance, and ethics in various organizational functions such as marketing, finance, and human resources. The central theme for the course is business-society interactions, emphasizing the era of digital transformation, globalization, and the rise of competitive rivalries. The course is scheduled with 1 section on Tuesdays/Thursdays at 16:00 for 90 minutes in the Fall academic term 2026. The class size is approximately 30 students.
