By Wendy Gelman, J.D., L.L.M.You are the CEO of Flower Power, Inc., a fast growing chain of 100 florist shops based in the Southeastern United States. The company opened for business 5 years ago with just 20 employees and now has over 1500 employees. The company is now in the process of installing a new computer network, which will, for the first time, link all of the company’s offices and locations. The company’s Chief Information Officer has approached you with a proposal to include a number of electronic surveillance features in the new network.
The proposed features include:
The ability of all MIS staff to “shadow” PCs of any employees, at any time, without the consent of those employees (“shadowing” allows a person, such as the MIS staff person, to monitor all a user’s activity on your PC from a remote location without the user’s knowledge)
Your approval is needed to install this network and these features.
Instructions:
1)Identify the ethical dilemmas
2)Evaluate how stakeholders would be affected by various solutions to your dilemma(s).
3)Discuss the pros and cons of alternative courses of action.
