Ethics and Technology

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how ethics will always play an integral part in business decision-making and how they form the backdrop and the foundation of all our decisions. The paper also examines how utilizing diversity and alternate schools of thought to Western individualism is a solid indicator of the socioeconomic willingness to accept change if it brings positive results. In addition, the paper looks at how the growth of technology is bringing real time interactions face-to-face with people around the globe and how, to keep pace, companies must be vibrant, nimble and able to withstand the stress of rapid decision making; both for the worker and their own profitability.

From the Paper:

"E-business and the growth of internet companies catering specifically to customer's needs require competition to be "fleet of foot", (Borromeo, J., 2001) if they wish to succeed. Response times have been shortened; technology now enables lightning fast decision making. Room has to be made for the idea that "executive decisions" can come from a mid-level employee to keep business flowing; and while the internal structure of company management is changing, so is the landscape for job-seekers, (Challenger, J.A., 2001)."
