chiefloko writes "I am presently taking a "Business Ethics" class while earning my MBA. I am posed with a final paper topic on "Ethics within the Information Technology realm." Over the past 13 years I have worked for three corporations and have scene everything from the typical B.O.F.H. to un-godly pirated software use. I also bore witness to a remote user logging in to a poorly administrated Sun station, finding out s/he was root, and then reading co-workers emails. I am interested in what the "norm" goes for ethics in the I.T. world and some of the outcomes and stories."

  • Since it's a business ethics class I would assume things like Microsoft buying ISO votes would be more relevant then the examples you posted, or something more slightly technical.. Closed file formats and vendor lock-in.
    • We focus a lot on the "Monopolies" in homework assignments, readings and case studies, the professor specifically asked for us to focus on the I.T. within past corporations [for the older students such as myself] or past internships for the students who are just starting out in the world.
