Paper A: Application of a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
For this assignment, you are given an opportunity to explore and apply a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
A framework provides a methodical and systematic approach for decision making
.
UMUC
Module 2 - Methods of Ethical Analysis (see LEO Content – Readings for week 2)
describes three structured frameworks that may be used for ethical analysis, namely
Reynolds Seven-Step Approach, Kidder’s Nine Steps, and Spinello’s Seven-Step Process
.
There are several ways described in UMUC Module 2 to systematically approach an ethical dilemma
, and while each of the frameworks described has its merits, each will result in an ethical decision if straightforwardly and honestly applied.
In addition, you will want to consider the ethical theories described in
Module 1 – Introduction to Theoretical Ethical Frameworks (see LEO Content – Readings for week 1)
which help decision makers find the right balance concerning the acceptability of and justification for their actions. A separate write-up of the ethical theory that supports your decision is part of the following requirements.
For this paper, the following elements must be addressed:
Describe a current IT-related ethical issue
:
Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation,
you may want to construct a brief scenario
where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job, or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law that affects the general populace.
See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a source of ethical dilemmas
.
Define a concise problem statement
that is
extracted
from the above description or scenario. It is best
if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the dilemma
. Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law, that it may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take action to implement a solution.
Analyze your problem
using one of the structured decision-making frameworks chosen from Module 2.
Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making framework selected must be used as major headings in the Analysis section.
Consider and state the impact of the decision that you made
on an individual, an organization, stakeholders, customers suppliers, and the environment, as applicable!
State and discuss the applicable ethical theory
from Module 1
that supports your decision.
Concerning your paper:
Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper and submit it to the LEO Assignments Module as an attached Microsoft Word file.

Background info:
Case Study: Quality vs. Access
The Affordable Care Act raised the Medicaid reimbursement levels to Medicare levels, resulting in improved appointment availability for Medicaid recipients. One of the components of the Affordable Care Act now coming into effect is the reporting of quality measurements and tying these into reimbursement. Some of the measurements are subjective, such as patient satisfaction, while others are quantitative, such as percentage of patients with their diabetes under control. Patient adherence to treatment plans has been shown to be as low as 40%. Opponents of the rating system say this system will result in more difficult and low socio-economic group patients being turned away by providers.
· How could the payment system be modified to reward quality of care but not result in reduced access to those in lower socio-economic groups or with poorer health?

Introduction
Target’s Struggle with Ethical Culture
After being one of three U.S. retailers recognized for exemplary ethical standards and prac-
tices for seven consecutive years, Target was not included on Ethisphere Institute’s 2014
World’s Most Ethical Companies list (Adams, 2014). Ethisphere Institute conducts a survey
of large public and private international companies and publishes the annual list in its maga-
zine. Ethical culture is a component in ranking the most ethical companies, looking for the
adoption of a values-based culture in the organization, workforce acceptance of the culture,
and employee behavior according to the ethical culture.
Target’s fall from the list comes after a 2013 data breach of customer credit card data during
the Christmas shopping season. Even with extensive data security measures in place, a Rus-
sian hacker accessed customer credit card and personal information from purchases made
from November 27 to December 15. Reports indicate that Target received initial warning of
malware as early as November 30, but did not take action until enforcement agencies con-
tacted the company two weeks later. Most customers learned of the leaking of their sensitive
data from media news outlets on December 18, one day before Target released a press state-
ment asserting that “Target alerted authorities and financial institutions immediately after
it was made aware of the unauthorized access, and it is putting all appropriate resources
behind these efforts” (Target, 2013, para. 3). As more information emerged, the company
reported the unauthorized access to credit card or personal data of over 110,000 customers.
The manner in which the large retailer handled the data breach crisis demonstrates an orga-
nizational culture that ignored warnings, failed to tell customers all available information,
and lacked empathy for customer concern of financial harm (Levin, 2014). The investors,
employees, managers, and media considered that the organizational culture of Target had
become too controlling and unresponsive to new information. The chief information officer
(CIO) accepted responsibility for the failure of data security and resigned from the company.
In response to shareholder demands for greater accountability, a new chief executive officer
(CEO) and some board members were appointed in 2014.
Why is the focus on Target’s organizational culture after this crisis? Culture matters in busi-
ness. A healthy culture allows employees to live their values and perform without fear of reta.

malware as early as November 30, but did not take action until enforcement agencies con-
tacted the company two weeks later. Most customers learned of the leaking of their sensitive
data from media news outlets on December 18, one day before Target released a press state-
ment asserting that “Target alerted authorities and financial institutions immediately after
it was made aware of the unauthorized access, and it is putting all appropriate resources
behind these efforts” (Target, 2013, para. 3). As more information emerged, the company
reported the unauthorized access to credit card or personal data of over 110,000 customers.
The manner in which the large retailer handled the data breach crisis demonstrates an orga-
nizational culture that ignored warnings, failed to tell customers all available information,
and lacked empathy for customer concern of financial harm (Levin, 2014). The investors,
employees, managers, and media considered that the organizational culture of Target had
become too controlling and unresponsive to new information. The chief information officer
(CIO) accepted responsibility for the failure of data security and resigned from the company.
In response to shareholder demands for greater accountability, a new chief executive officer
(CEO) and some board members were appointed in 2014.
Why is the focus on Target’s organizational culture after this crisis? Culture matters in busi-
ness. A healthy culture allows employees to live their values and perform without fear of reta.

Introduction
Introduction
Target’s Struggle with Ethical Culture
After being one of three U.S. retailers recognized for exemplary ethical standards and prac-
tices for seven consecutive years, Target was not included on Ethisphere Institute’s 2014
World’s Most Ethical Companies list (Adams, 2014). Ethisphere Institute conducts a survey
of large public and private international companies and publishes the annual list in its maga-
zine. Ethical culture is a component in ranking the most ethical companies, looking for the
adoption of a values-based culture in the organization, workforce acceptance of the culture,
and employee behavior according to the ethical culture.
Target’s fall from the list comes after a 2013 data breach of customer credit card data during
the Christmas shopping season. Even with extensive data security measures in place, a Rus-
sian hacker accessed customer credit card and personal information from purchases made
from November 27 to December 15. Reports indicate that Target received initial warning of
malware as early as November 30, but did not take action until enforcement agencies con-
tacted the company two weeks later. Most customers learned of the leaking of their sensitive
data from media news outlets on December 18, one day before Target released a press state-
ment asserting that “Target alerted authorities and financial institutions immediately after
it was made aware of the unauthorized access, and it is putting all appropriate resources
behind these efforts” (Target, 2013, para. 3). As more information emerged, the company
reported the unauthorized access to credit card or personal data of over 110,000 customers.

nizational culture that ignored warnings, failed to tell customers all available information,
and lacked empathy for customer concern of financial harm (Levin, 2014). The investors,

Paper A: Application of a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
This assignment is an opportunity to explore and apply a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
A framework provides a methodical and systematic approach for decision making
.
UMGC
Module 2 - Methods of Ethical Analysis (see LEO Content – Readings for week 2)
describes three structured frameworks that may be used for ethical analysis, namely
Reynolds Seven-Step Approach, Kidder’s Nine Steps, and Spinello’s Seven-Step Process
.
There are several ways described in UMGC Module 2 to systematically approach an ethical dilemma
, and while each of the frameworks described has its merits, each will result in an ethical decision if straightforwardly, objectively, and honestly applied.
In addition, consider the ethical theories described in
Module 1 – Introduction to Theoretical Ethical Frameworks (see LEO Content – Readings for week 1)
which help decision makers find the right balance concerning the acceptability of and justification for their actions.
A separate write-up of the ethical theory that supports your decision is part of the following requirements
.
For this paper, the following five elements must be addressed:
Describe a current IT-related ethical issue
:
Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation,
you may want to construct a brief scenario
where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job, or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law that affects the general populace.
See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a source of ethical dilemmas
.
Define a concise problem statement
that is
extracted
from the above description or scenario. It is best
if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the dilemma
. Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law, that it may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take action to implement a solution.
Analyze your problem
using one of the structured decision-making frameworks chosen from Module 2.
Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making framework selected must be used as major headings in the Analysis section.
Consider and state the impact of the decision that you made
on an individual, an organization, stakeholders, customers suppliers, and the environment, as applicable!
State and discuss the applicable ethical theory
from Module 1
that supports your decision.
Concerning your paper:
Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper and submit it to the LEO Assignments Module as an attached Microsoft Word file.
Use headings for each topic criteria
Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) source citations for all sources you use
