Business Ethics for a Digital Society Assignment

Assignment description

Written Research Assignment: This assignment involves analysis of the ethical implications of the adoption and implementation of advanced digital technologies by government and business. It involves identification of, at least, three real or hypothetical situations which illustrate the topic and developing a comprehensive in-depth discussion of causes, influences and consequences of digital technology on individuals and society.

You are required to demonstrate an in-depth as well as practical understanding of the ways in which the adoption of advanced technologies raises ethical questions in relation to individuals and society. To develop a good quality discussion paper, you will need to read widely and draw upon a variety of situations which help you illustrate the concept clearly.

Suggested approach to developing assignment

Therefore, the following questions should be used to guide both your reading and the development of the discussion. You, however, SHOULD NOT use these as section headings. The questions include:

Suggested structure

Your discussion should be presented logically and be supported by appropriate academic literature. Only published academic literature (books, book chapters and journal articles) are considered appropriate. Do not refer to websites unless they are online journals or electronic books. Do not refer to lecture notes. You can, however, use internet sources to identify or develop the illustrative situations.
The following headings may be used as a guide to how you may organise your paper (remember this is only a suggested guide and not to be taken as the recommended structure):

1. Introduction
This should set out the broad objectives of the paper and provide an outline of the discussion
2. Understanding the trends in technology change and digital transformation
3. The ethical implications of digital transformation for individuals and society
a. Situation one
b. Situation two
c. Situation three
4. Managing the ethical implication of digital transformation
5. The role and responsibility of government, business and individuals in managing technology change and ethics
6. Conclusion
This should summarise the key messages and provide a concluding reflection on the key points
7. References
An alphabetically arranged list of all the references used following the Harvard referencing style.

The paper should be no more than 3000 words long and should not include abstract, table of contents or executive summary. The references section does not count towards the word limit for the assignment.
