SIM Textbook/Syllabi

In 2017, the SIM Curriculum Development Committee asked SIM members and textbook authors to provide syllabi for Business, Society, and Ethics type classes. Below is an alphabetical list of the textbook/syllabi responses we received. We include several syllabi at the end that do not require a specific textbook. We hope that you find this useful for designing your classes. Denis Collins Chair, SIM Curriculum Development Committee, 2017-2018.
