Are there ethical and legal considerations particular to conducting e-commerce? If so, what
are these considerations? What measures can businesses adopt to ensure information security
in e-commerce transactions?
Response:
Two good ways for businesses to avoid ethical concerns are screenings and having, and
ensuring all employees abide to, a code of ethics. If a code of ethics is in place, and employees
understand the repercussions of violations, they will be less likely to do so. This is why most
businesses have them in place today. Many businesses use a screening process consisting of
carefully worded ethical questions that all potential employees must take before they can be
considered for employment.
Personally, I don't feel that the ethical and legal considerations of e-commerce are much
different than that of regular commerce. E-commerce has gotten a bad reputation because people
are under the impression that information is easier to get in this high tech environment. In
actuality, if the proper security measures, such as an encrypted secured connection and a firewall,
can make this info just as hard to get as if it were under lock an key.
