Course Description
Recommended: IFSM 201. A comprehensive study of ethics and
of personal and organizational ethical decision making in the
use of
information systems in a global environment. The aim is to
identify ethical issues raised by existing and emerging
technologies, apply a
structured framework to analyze risk and decision alternatives,
and understand the impact of personal ethics and organizational
values on an
ethical workplace.
Course Introduction
The word ethics has its root in the word ethos, which most often
refers to character. The concepts of ethics, character, right and
wrong, and
good and evil have captivated humankind ever since we began
to live in groups, communicate, and pass judgment on each
others' actions
based on motivation, group rules and norms, and intermediate
and end results. Thinking about ethics can begin with the
individual, and then
expand into group, societal, and cultural ethical considerations.
From this foundation, we can apply (and test against) known
theories and
frameworks to information systems and situations in the modern

age. Can ethics and personal character apply, and in the same
ways, in the
modern information- and data-based world in which we
currently live, work, and function? Discovering this application,
and determining the
degree to which it satisfies logic, justice, ethical truths, and
modern reality, is the overarching goal of this course.
While ethics is important for its own sake, we, as information-
systems professionals, have a particular responsibility to
understand and apply
ethics to our professional actions and decisions. Character,
goodness, and just actions are certainly important for everyone,
as they have been
throughout history—and the more power the individual
possesses due to political position or wealth, the greater the
ramifications of character
or the lack of it. However, in no previous age has the
technology for information retrieval, storage, and
communication possessed such
potential to change power structures and be the source of power
itself. In the modern era, information systems managers and
professionals
exercise a new kind of power, with broad and often instant
ramifications. This power—gained through technical
expertise—requires a new
level of social responsibility. This responsibility is satisfied
through a development of understanding of ethics in
Information Technology and
the application of ethics to their own decision-making process.
After reviewing a foundation of ethical thought and becoming
familiar with ethical theories, frameworks, and approaches, you
will be able to
consider several key aspects of modern information systems that
currently challenge information professionals and citizens of
networked and
computing-dependent societies. Through the use of vignettes,

you will consider issues affecting ethics for IT workers and IT
users; privacy and
intellectual property; the impact of IT on productivity and
quality of life; and the tradeoffs between laws guiding group
needs and individual
needs. After gaining a basic understanding of ethics, you will
examine privacy/accuracy and property/accessibility, seeing a
broader and more
complex array of modern ethical questions in information
systems and direct challenges facing information systems
professionals today. You
will explore future challenges as you consider how things may
change and what ethical behavior will appear in information
systems as the
twenty-first century unfolds.
The language and facts of information systems and computing
have changed the world, and touched and changed lives. This
industry has
spawned, and continues to spawn, new concepts and new
language, and it does so with extreme rapidity. On the other
hand, ethics, which
was often a study of the ancients, examines unchanging truths.
With many obvious differences in the concepts and
practicalities, a shared aspect of both computing and ethics is
universality. The time-tested
and largely globally shared concepts of basic ethics mirror in
many ways the universal language of programming and
operating systems. The
fun begins as we apply time-tested ethical frameworks to
determine correct actions and decisions in this information
systems world of ones
and zeros; of self-replicating, anonymous, and invisible actors;
and of the global marketplace for information instead of more
concrete and
physical goods and services. The study of ethics in the
Information Technology is fascinating and mentally

challenging, and this course should
equip and guide your journey into this ethics and information
maelstrom.
Course Outcomes
After completing this course, you should be able to:
Apply relevant ethical theories, laws, regulations, and policies
to decision making to support organizational compliance.
Apply decision-making framework to analyze risks and decision
alternatives at different levels of an organization.
Identify and address new and/or increased ethical issues raised
by existing and emerging technologies.
Analyze the impact of personal and organizational ethics in
order to foster and support an ethical workforce.
