Objective : There are two high-level objectives in this project assignment that you must address: 1.  Matrix : Produce a matrix mapping a key organizational ethical issue and how this issue is affected by laws, regulations and policies 2.  Report : Prepare a text-only report (with a total minimum of 1,000 words) describing your thought process as you developed the matrix This assignment gives you an opportunity to analyze a key IT-related organizational ethical issue subject to relevant laws, regulations, and policies. This includes sub-topics discussing information privacy, privacy laws, applications and court rulings (case law is usually an extension of the basic law), and key privacy and anonymity issues. More specifically, consider a privacy topic like workplace monitoring,Web site user privacy policy, data mining, etc that has an organizational perspective as that will make your matrix easier to construct. Note: You must produce an original ethical analysis in your original expression. Do not quote any source text and do not include any graphics of any kind in your project papers. Only use text and original expression - only that will be counted in addressing the minimum word count and addressing the topic criteria. If you have problems creating a bordered table matrix or copy/pasting the table from the project description example, you can approximate the tabular format in your paper using an outline format, but make sure you identify the ethical dilemma, three chosen ethical principles, the stakeholders, and the specific responses of each stakeholder to the dilemma using each of the ethical principles you have identified. Matrix : Using the template provided in the project assignment description and the list of suggested topics, produce a matrix mapping a key organizational ethical issue and how this issue is affected by laws, regulations and policies. Step 1: Identify the ethical dilemma based on one of the broad categories identified. Step 2: Identify the stakeholders involved. Step 3: Choose any three of the principles that might apply. Step 4: Identify how the dilemma affect each stakeholder based on the principles you identified. Place this brief statement in the matrix next to the stakeholder. Using the chosen dilemma and the three principles of normative ethics you selected from the following list, complete the ethical matrix. To use the matrix you must choose any three (only three) of the following list of twelve (12) principles of normative ethics: Autonomy: the duty to maximize the individual's right to make his or her own decisions. Beneficence: the duty to do good both individually and for all. Confidentiality: the duty to respect privacy of information and action. Equality: the duty to view all people as moral equals. Finality: the duty to take action that may override the demands of law, religion, and social customs. Justice: the duty to treat all fairly, distributing the risks and benefits equally. Non-maleficence: the du.

This assignment gives you an opportunity to analyze a key IT-
related organizational ethical issue subject to relevant laws,
regulations, and policies. This includes sub-topics discussing
information privacy, privacy laws, applications and court
rulings (case law is usually an extension of the basic law), and
key privacy and anonymity issues.
More specifically, consider a privacy topic like workplace
monitoring,Web site user privacy policy, data mining, etc that
has an organizational perspective as that will make your matrix
easier to construct.
Note: You must produce an original ethical analysis in your
original expression. Do not quote any source text and do not
include any graphics of any kind in your project papers. Only
use text and original expression - only that will be counted in
addressing the minimum word count and addressing the topic
criteria.
If you have problems creating a bordered table matrix or
copy/pasting the table from the project description example, you
can approximate the tabular format in your paper using an
outline format, but make sure you identify the ethical dilemma,
three chosen ethical principles, the stakeholders, and the
specific responses of each stakeholder to the dilemma using
each of the ethical principles you have identified.

2. Matrix
:
Using the template provided in the project assignment
description and the list of suggested topics, produce a matrix
mapping a key organizational ethical issue and how this issue is
affected by laws, regulations and policies.
Step 1: Identify the ethical dilemma based on one of the broad
categories identified.
Step 2: Identify the stakeholders involved.
Step 3: Choose any three of the principles that might apply.
Step 4: Identify how the dilemma affect each stakeholder based
on the principles you identified. Place this brief statement in the
matrix next to the stakeholder.
Using the chosen dilemma and the three principles of normative
ethics you selected from the following list, complete the ethical
matrix.
To use the matrix you must choose any three (only three) of the
following list of twelve (12) principles of normative ethics:
Autonomy: the duty to maximize the individual's right to make
his or her own decisions.
Beneficence: the duty to do good both individually and for all.
Confidentiality: the duty to respect privacy of information and
action.
Equality: the duty to view all people as moral equals.
Finality: the duty to take action that may override the demands
of law, religion, and social customs.
Justice: the duty to treat all fairly, distributing the risks and
benefits equally.
Non-maleficence: the duty to cause no harm, both individually
and for all.
Understanding/Tolerance: the duty to understand and to accept
other view points if reason dictates doing so is warranted.
Publicity: the duty to take actions based on ethical standards
that must be known and recognized by all who are involved.
Respect for persons: the duty to honor others, their rights, and
their responsibilities. Showing respect others implies that we do

3. not treat them as a mere means to our end.
Universality: the duty to take actions that hold for everyone,
regardless of time, place, or people involved. This concept is
similar to the Categorical Imperative.
Veracity: the duty to tell the truth.
Report
:
The completed matrix allows you to weigh the different issues
involved and assign a rank as to the importance of the actions
based on the effect on the stakeholders.
Prepare a text-only report with a total minimum of 1,000 words)
describing your thought process as you developed the matrix
(i.e., provide your rationale and justification for choosing the
particular ethical issue, the ethical principles, and your analysis
of relevant source articles (news, research, expert opinion, etc.)
that helped to identify what actions would occur with this
matrix of ethical issue and ethical principles).
Your report should i
nclude the following text phrases as required headings
under which you address each corresponding topic:
1)
Why I chose the dilemma
2)
Why I chose the three principles
3)
Analysis of the research used to identify the actions in the
matrix.
