Problem 1: You have been asked to observe how data-entry clerks/office worker use new accounting software at a large accounting firm. As part of an observational study, the clerks are informed that they will remain anonymous. You install logging software on several clerks' computers, and your analysis of these logfiles reveals that many of the clerks are making a particular data entry error when using the new software. These errors will cause the firm to lose money, and company policy clearly dictates that workers' salaries will be deduct/subtract for mistakes leading to loss of company profit. You report the problem with the new software package to your boss. Your boss demands that you turn over your log files so the company can follow-up with more training for the employees and ensure that the company is reimbursed for the errors from the employees' pay (a) Identify the ethical case here (b) Use 1 ethical theory to argue why you should NOT turn over the logfiles to your boss. (c) Use 1 ethical theory to argue why you should turn over the logfiles to your boss. The summer camp you have attended since you were very young has just added a computer activity. You've been hired to be the camp's first computer counselor." The computers are PCs. There is no software on the PCs and you have to install all software onto each machine individually from USBs disks. You arrive two days before the campers, you have a few hours to set up the computer lab. You discover that all the software you have is on USBs disks with hand-written labels, no documentation. Suspicious, you approach the director of the camp, and ask him if the software purchased or just copied? He says it was just copied. You politely tell him that you need legal copies, and a license for each machine. He refuses. The Campers arrive tomorrow. There's really nothing you can do with PCs without software. You don't have a development environment. You don't have money to buy software yourself. And you can't seek donations. 1) What is the ethical scenario here 2) Analyze this scenario using 1 Theory Because you know how to access your brother computer remotely. You used your skills to access his PC, and copied some of the software to the camp computer lab 3) Analyze this scenario using 1 Theory
