Abstract
Which is more important: an organization's legitimate right to conduct and protect its business operations or employees' rights to privacy? This paper shows that organizations are focused on guaranteeing work production, protecting against fraud, theft, harassment and other crimes, and maintaining or increasing workplace productivity. Employees are concerned about their ability to maintain the confidentiality of their words and actions while at work. The paper questions whether employers may invade individuals' privacy or merely reasonably monitor their organization's operations.
From the Paper
"While this act has certainly safeguarded the privacy of employees, its exceptions have widely been used by employers to ensure the normal course of business for the organization. Electronic communications can be monitored if the following exceptions exist in the workplace: the provider exception, the ordinary course of business exception, and the consent exception (Ciocchetti, 2001). First, the provider exception refers to electronic communication services that employers provide, for example, an e-mail system. Second, the ordinary course of business exception takes into consideration either content or context. Essentially, employers can monitor electronic communications that are deemed business-related, but not personal (content) or employers' intent for monitoring can be reviewed (context)."

"Uniform Resource Locators "point" to a specific section of information, usually a web page, at a particular machine, whereas telephone numbers reference only the machine corresponding the the number, not any particular information. Law enforcement agents can visit the URL's and recall the information that the subject viewed, but they cannot dial a telephone number and hear the suspect's discussion (Electronic Privacy Information Center). In some instances, URL's even reveal the information given by a subject."

Abstract
This paper uses an interview with a sales manager for VeriSign, one of the world?s largest suppliers of digital security certificates, as a developmental theme and discusses three primary issues concerning electronic privacy. Through a literature review, it analyzes the concerns regarding security issues of the two major participants in electronic commerce, the companies that wish to sell products and the customers who want to buy those products. It looks at how credit card fraud online approaching $1 billion and how security verification is a primary concern facing businesses. It also considers the issues of privacy that have reached a critical mass, so important that the government has formed a special panel to study which privacy elements should be the basis of legal reform. It concludes with an academic overview of some of the technical issues concerned with electronic commerce.
From the Paper
"Security has become one of the primary concerns when any organization connects to the Internet and a great many articles address various aspects of this problem (Day, 1997; O?Harrow, 2000). One of the best studies was that done by Lopez (1996) who analyzed a 1995 study of 1290 information network managers that reported substantial financial losses due to ineffective, or misdirected network security. Twenty percent of those respondents indicated that breaches in network security stemming from Internet connections were to blame. Of the companies that indicated a crack in network security, losses were estimated to be above one million dollars (Lopez, 1996, 40)."

From the Paper
"Two general but major theoretical orientations provide the basic foundation for the present investigation. These guide the cultural and philosophical theories that are described in detail in the following chapter. The first relates to cultural theory in general; the second pertains to personal privacy. With regard to culture, it can be said in the most general terms that culture is the most basic determinant of the wants and behaviors of individuals. Culture is an important idea because it deals with the way people live and approach problem solving in a social and organizational context. Those growing up in a given society quickly learn a basic set of values, perceptions, preferences, and behaviors unique to that culture. These concepts are learned through a process of socialization which involves the family, social group, school, and other institutions. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that different cultural theories continually surface as researchers learn increasingly more about culture and society. New perspectives give rise to new theoretical bases for assessing culture. Many early anthropologists conceived of culture as a collection of traits. Characteristics and behaviors were spread from one society to another. However, critics of this approach pointed out that the theory failed to explain why certain traits spread and others do not."

Abstract
The writer notes that in his enlightening article regarding electronic money, "Money in an Electronic World", Bernd Kempa argues that electronic funds are not likely to replace traditional money any time soon but that the role of the central bank in determining a country's monetary policy may be affected. The writer points out that the Kempa voices these concerns in closing his research in which he successfully illustrates the development of electronic funds and cash. The writer discusses that companies such as eBay and Amazon.com have turned the retail industry upside down and these two companies alone handle billions of dollars annually in electronic funds across international markets without ever handling physical currencies. Yet, the writer maintains that central banks will continue to determine monetary policy because the simple fact is that none of these new economy institutions or the electronic funds that accompany new business models creates money themselves. The writer concludes that they only move currency values that have been created via traditional channels.

Author Analysis
Developments in Electronic Money
Conclusion
From the Paper
"These observations are, while not being indicative of an impending catastrophe, somewhat alarming for economists who might be concerned with monetary policy at the national level. However, by raising such alarms, the author does not adequately support why he believes electronic funds might hold the potential to undermine such national economic and monetary policy when, in fact, all electronic funds originate first with the issuance of funds through traditional channels. No company that regularly operates in the financial markets, private or otherwise, has the ability to generate funds, whether electronic or otherwise, in any manner that supersedes the role or the oversight of the central banking systems."

Privacy in the Information Age, 2004.
Discusses the concept of privacy in today's technological world.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In today's information age, a combination of satellite and computer technology creates a large number of privacy problems, rather than providing the security they are promoted for. The paper shows that the biggest privacy problems are experienced in terms of public privacy and privacy in terms of the Internet. In the information age ,the right "to be alone" has to be respected in terms of computer technology, as well. The paper discusses, specifically, two problems arising from the information age: Internet privacy and electronic surveillance.
From the Paper
"Further surveillance occurs in the workplace, where e-mail could be intercepted, and Internet use could be monitored. As far as this is in the interest of the workplace paradigm, the employers are within their rights. Surveillance in the workplace could also be conducted by means of electronic cameras and telephone apparatus. Often this is done without employee awareness, and this is unacceptable. Employees should in all cases be made aware of any surveillance conducted in the workplace, and of all justifications for such surveillance."

Abstract
This paper examines not only the data protection instruments but also encompasses various breaches, recognitions and provisions for the interests of national security that over-weighs/surpass dangers to individual privacy in information technology. Chapter 2 deals with the erosion of privacy rights due to Sept 11, and amounts to probably the most significant issue in recent history, as information privacy rights have been recognized for controlling the dissemination and use of data. Chapter 3 has a comprehensive analysis that everyone has the right to be protected under the law and no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence. Chapter 4 studies means of private communications without the consent of the sender or receiver and deals with breaches of privacy. Chapter 5 reviews data protection instruments in EU and non-EU horizons. Chapter 6 elucidates shocking revelations against terror and a flurry of virus activity resulting in personal data of Arab males being made available to the police to protect data against the war on terrorism. Chapter 7 states the balance between privacy and security risks and suggests that privacy-invasive measures adopted have not been as effective in enhancing security as originally intended. Hence they should not be construed as rivals but rather two sides of the same coin. In Chapter 8, systematic surveillance of the citizen in both the physical and virtual worlds after September 11, 2001 is discussed in detail. In Chapter 9, the war on terrorism by the United States and its allies as well as the discussion and measures about the ways in which the world has changed is dealt with. Chapter 10 details the cooperation and mutual assistance in EU-US law enforcement, namely human trafficking, immigration, and refugees, visas, biometrics and passports, etc.
Chapter 11 addresses security concerns raised in the aftermath of the September 11 attack and interrelated issues involving the movement of people, security at the border and in the skies and various security models/gadgets as well. Chapter 12 gives details of how and why a fund was created for the compensation of victims of Sept 11. Chapter 13, last but not least, wraps up various issues discussed earlier and answers unanswered questions from the introduction.

From the Paper
"Privacy rights have always been something of a stepchild in the family of constitutional rights. Although interpreted by the courts to be one of our fundamental rights, it is not mentioned by name anywhere in the Constitution or its amendments because it is a passive right. Felt only when absent, it tends to get less attention. This is why it became the first constitutional right in the post-September 11 execution line. Whatever the case, we should all be concerned that what has happened to privacy can also happen to other rights. There is always tension in the system, but it was designed that way, and generally we do a good job of balancing the desires of the state with the liberties of the people."

Abstract
This paper explains that electronic banking, also known as electronic fund transfer or EFT, uses the computer and electronic technology instead of traditional checks and other paper transactions. The author points out that electronic payment systems, in comparison to tradition labor-intense systems, require human intervention only in specific problem cases thus saving the companies and their consumers time and money; however, customer self-service, through electronic payment systems, does not reduce costs if customers do not use it as an alternative to the traditional paper method. The paper relates that electronic commerce in developing countries permit better access to information and marketing opportunities but also have negative aspects such as delays and questionable security.

From the Paper
"At present, business organizations, consumers and government agencies throughout the world take advantage of payment technologies to send and receive funds (Kushawara 2003). Consumers pay their taxes and make other payments electronically; governments receive these taxes and distribute refunds also electronically; and enterprises put these modern technological tools to move payments and other funds. Electronic business payments have proved valuable in saving money, improving efficiency and helping deliver better returns to shareholders. With these benefits, organizations are better able to use their financial and human resource on more important or critical objectives and activities than on processes that need to be automated."

Abstract
This paper presents a case study relating to privacy issues in the medical and healthcare field. It aims to design an executive level privacy protection policy and considers both the legal regulations applicable to a company's privacy issues and the company's particular privacy needs. The paper specifically examines the application of the United States Privacy Act and its subsequent revisions and the Healthcare Information Privacy Protection Act (HIPPA).
From the Paper
"Clearly, the Privacy Act, originally intended to apply only to government agencies, now applies to such non-governmental entities as the healthcare system and commercial businesses. What can be concluded from this expansion of the Act's jurisdiction is that, because of the Act, individuals now have an expectation of personal privacy. In order to ensure this expectation is met, all customer-related organizations must take steps, per the Privacy Act, to protect an individual's personal privacy. (Douglas-Steward: 2001)."

"Privacy is something that all human beings want and need. Humans seek privacy to prevent others from seeing and knowing everything that they do and feel. Whether at home or work, people require some sort of shield of privacy to freely to pursue his or her projects or cultivate intimate social relationships. If this privacy is not provided, the effects are negative and people may become reclusive or unproductive."
