It is true that information management is key for confidentiality of any organizations information but the irony at once is that serious ethical challenges have constantly followed the information management. It is again quite unfortunate as technology advances, IT experts are not able to tell the kind of challenges that are being send into the system by the malware developers. From the reviewed academic articles, I noted that among the ethical issues that arise in the course of information management include: copyright infringement, reduced privacy and computer crimes. The similarity from all the articles was that nearly all businesses risk cyber victims since most of them have embraced digital networking. The one single difference is that how these business handle their problems is varied by the skills of their IT experts.
Based on the premise of chapter 14 of our text book, the articles support the theme of the materials in chapter 14 in that cybercrimes have become inevitable and what can only save organizations and businesses is having qualified IT pe
rsonnel on board to save the situation in case it happens.
From the articles, I have learned that to a greater degree, harmful employees engage in dubious activities to harm the organization for their personal gains. Among the ethical challenges that can make information management a tall order include:
i Security: hackers use the internet to hack organizations systems using the Internet protocol address to collect data that they may use against the business organization.
ii Issues of privacy: due to the existence of webcams, many experienced users have popped into the private life of celebrities and caused havoc to their private life.
iii Copyright infringement: since internet users can access artifact, they access information of musicians and share the information with their friends hence creators of the music lose credibility of their work.
iv In p-principle, digital divide is another issue in information management as the company embraces technology, it has to first train its workforce on how to use the technology.
