Solution
Ans :
Social issues in organizations represents one of the most frequently discussed keystones in
information systems research throughout the occupancy of the IS field. Social issues are those
research topics most associated with the human factor in terms of information systems planning,
development and utilization of information systems and technologies.
Specifically, the conceptualization of specific social issues and their related constructs, proposed
designs and infrastructures, empirical validation of social models, and case studies illustrating
(1) ethics
(2) culture
(3) relationships
(4) human interaction
(5) security and
(6) design.
1.Ethical issues: intellectual property rights, electronic monitoring of employees, data utilization,
and morality in information systems usage;
2.Cultural issues: assimilation of emerging technologies, developing trust, power asymmetry,
policy implementation, and social environments;

2. 3.Human interaction issues: recruitment and retainment of technical personnel, motivation,
leadership, social presence, and organizational champions of information systems;
4.Relationship issues: development partnerships, virtual teams, group cohesiveness,
collaboration, group facilitation, networking, and buyer-supplier linkages;
5.Security issues: misuse of data, virus/worm creation, Intranet abuse, data protection, fraud with
systems use, and standards and regulations.
