Instructional Objectives for this activity:
Analyze the role that technology plays in our business lives and how it influences ethics and stakeholders
Technological determinism is the imperative that what can be developed will be developed. Ethical lag occurs when the speed of technological change exceeds the speed of ethical development. A variety of issues arise in the business context at the crossroads of technology and ethics.
Please write a paper that addresses the following:
One of the technological issues that arises in the business context is that of privacy. What personal information do businesses acquire from their employees? Their shareholders? Their customers? Their vendors? How should organizations protect this information?
Have you witnessed unethical activities related to technology, either by employees in a company in which you've worked or at school? What made the activity unethical? How was this unethical conduct addressed by management or school administrators? How should it have been addressed?
