Ethics and Ethical Decision Making: PONG

P=personal: ethics begins, and in many cases, ends with "personal" or "P". Where things go right, where things go wrong, you will always find people O=organizational: Next ethics is "organizational" or "O". Working in the corporate world, we find that the organization has principles and norms everyone is expected to follow. Thus leaders (people) will set an ethical culture that impacts the organization N=national:third, ethics is "national" or "N". While many nations will have similar ethical protocols (hype-norms), you will find differences in culture and custom. Thus, people in organizations must understand ethics from a national perspective. G=Global: lastly, ethics is "global" or "G". A multi-national corporation, operating around the world, will find that a challenge is to promote their own ethical protocols in the context of other cultures

What do you think we typically consider the most ethical test?

threats to privacy (page 281)

Social Networks: social networks allow individuals to establish connections and store information remotely. Default privacy settings provide too much personal information online. This information creates a field day for identity thieves, hackers, scammers, debt collectors, employers, marketers, data miners Hackers: organized cybercriminals known as hactivists participate in phising, onlin shopping fraud, banking fraud, and other deceptions Behavorial advertising: used by advertisers to present targeted ads to consumers by collecting information about their browsing behavior. These techniques create a behavioral profile of you that is used for exploitation Data Stealing: done through rogue applications on social networking sites- computers that harbor botnets and smartphone malware are couple that may be after you Facial recognition- facebook now gather data or recognize your face GEO-tags-used when photos or videos are taken with GPS equipped device

Big Data- IS Everywhere

Ethical Decision-Making Process

Step #1: Awareness: What are the ethical concerns or issues? Step #2: Facts: What is known or unknown in this situation? Step #3: Stakeholders: What individuals or groups are affected or will be affected? Step #4: Standards: Are there any laws, policies or professional standards that apply to this situation? Step #5: Values: What personal or organization values apply? Step #6: Options/Action: What options do you have? What actions will you take? Note: Consider Rules Versus Values: Many companies follow a rules based approach to ethics. However, a values based approach is a preferred method to develop sound ethical practices.
