BUSN202 – The Ethical Technology
Scenario: You are a junior consultant at a small firm. Your manager has asked you to write a brief, 3-4-page report for a client who is concerned about their use of technology. The client, a growing small business, wants to know how to use technology to improve efficiency while also ensuring they are protecting their employees and customers.
Submission Instructions:
Write a 3-4-page APA paper that addresses the following:
1. Analyze the Digital Transformation: Discuss how the ethical and secure use of at least two technologies from your course (e.g., cloud computing, data visualization, or AI) can help a company achieve a digital transformation. Explain how using these tools responsibly can improve business practices.
2. Assess the Risks: Identify and explain at least two major ethical or privacy risks that a company faces when using these technologies. For example, how could an over-reliance on AI for decision-making lead to biased outcomes, or how could poor data management practices lead to a data breach? Cite specific examples from the provided lecturettes to support your points.
3. Propose Best Practices: Based on your analysis, propose a plan for a company to mitigate these risks. Your plan should include at least two best practices for employees (e.g., using a password manager, applying the CRAAP test to AI-generated content) and two best practices for the company (e.g., implementing least privilege access, providing cybersecurity training).
4. Format: Written in APA style; include at least 2 different legitimate citations, use the library, do not depend on Internet searches, approximately 3-5 pages not including the Cover or References pages.
