Session 1: Introduction to Corporate Ethics and Historical ContextThe first session sets the stage for understanding the ethical challenges faced by corporations during times of conflict, using Nazi Germany as a case study. Participants will be introduced to key concepts, such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and the balance between profit and corporate responsibility, to frame the discussion. The session will explore how companies navigated the complex ethical landscape of supporting government policies during the Third Reich while pursuing financial gain. By examining selected readings and testimonies, students will start to think critically about the long-term implications of these corporate choices and their impact on today’s corporate practices. The goal is to encourage participants to engage with these historical complexities and think in “shades of gray,” recognizing that decision-making in such contexts is rarely black and white.
