What have we learned about the
ethical dimensions of
information systems since Mason’s seminal paper in 1986
that suggested Privacy,
Accuracy, Property, and Accessibility (PAPA) were the four
ethical issues of
the information age? Was Mason right? Have other issues
arisen, given the
increased amount of data that each person spawns in their
daily lives, from
swiping a credit card, buying online, or updating profiles
on social networking
sites? To answer these and other pertinent questions, this
special issue
invites original papers and case studies that examine the
ethical impact of
information systems on business and society. Qualitative as
well as
quantitative analysis methodologies are encouraged. Topics
include, but are not
limited to:
·
-- Meta-studies of
past theoretical
viewpoints
·
-- Philosophical frameworks that
help describe the nature of ethical issues in information
systems
·
-- Modeling the ethical
decision-making process
·
-- Social and psychological
theories applied to ethical decision-making
·
-- Case studies in particular
areas, such as big data, security, m-commerce, or health IT
·
-- New approaches to understanding
ethical issues in information systems
All submissions must be made
