Give your students a strong understanding of the legal, ethical, and societal implications of information technology with Reynolds' ETHICS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, 4E. The latest edition of this dynamic text provides the most up-to-date, thorough coverage of newsworthy technology developments and their impact on business today. Students examine issues surrounding professional codes of ethics, file sharing, and infringement of intellectual property, security risk assessment, Internet crime, identity theft, employee surveillance, privacy, compliance, social networking, and the ethics of IT corporations. This book offers an excellent foundation in ethical decision-making for current and future business managers and IT professionals. Unlike typical introductory Information Systems books that provide only one chapter for ethics and IT and cannot cover the full scope of IT-related ethical issues, ETHICS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, 4E provides thorough coverage focused on preparing the individuals who are primarily responsible for addressing ethical issues in today's workplace. Future business managers and IT professionals learn how to examine the various ethical situations that typically arise in IT and gain experience from the book's practical advice for addressing the issues. Up-to-the-minute business vignettes and thought-provoking questions challenge students' knowledge; while features focused on decision making, such as this edition's updated Manager's Checklists, provide brief, critical points to consider in making key business decisions. Trust ETHICS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, 4E to equip your business decision makers with the understanding of ethics and IT needed for ongoing business success.
