Ethicality

8 September, 2015 - 16:12

A formalized set of rules suit foreseen and predictable circumstances. However, new and dynamic situations create difficulties. In many situations there simply are no established rules for action. The way forward is to ensure members will act according to a set of working norms embedded in ethical standards. The difficulty that organizations nowadays experience is where do new and existing members get the ethics needed to shape informal norms and behavior. In recent years, the lowering of ethical standards in business has led to an increase in the number of frauds. Without a strong ethical foundation and in the absence of a supportive environment, organizations will confront serious IS security issues.
