The "Business Integrity" module prepares you for conflict situations, makes you capable of speaking and acting ethically and thus promotes the development of ethical conflict management skills.

• Interaction of corporate values, strategy and corporate culture - value discourse, value hierarchy and principle-based pragmatism as a foundation
• Use of the ethical responsibility toolbox in the area of conflict between "legality" and "legitimacy"
• Importance of leadership personalities and corporate culture based on the case study of the diesel scandal
• Consideration of a business case for acting with integrity
