Title: Info Systems Regulatory and Ethical Issues
Description: In today’s world, information technology (IT) is evident in almost every aspect of life. It is difficult to imagine a workplace without computers, banking without ATM machines, or grocery stores without bar code readers at the checkout. While much attention has been focused on the use of these machines to revolutionize business, until recently there has been little discussion of the ethical dilemmas that, if not created by IT, are amplified by its use. It has been said that every new age requires a new set of moral and ethical values. Indeed, mankind has entered a new age with the computer/information revolution, and it is time to review the ethical impact of this technology. This course attempts to address this need. The course will also address ethical and legal issues involved in electronic business.

Prerequisites: Students completing an MBA or Techno-MBA, must complete 16 credits in the MBA Core before taking Strategy Formulation and Implementation and elective courses. For the MS-ISM, students mush complete GRBUS 541, 544, 545 prior to taking this course.
