There is a culminating Paper Assignment for the class. The paper focuses on integrating Business and Society, Ethics, and Public Policy using your focal organization and your prior discussion assignments.
My focal organization is The North Face.
Please read the midterm essay on my focal organization I uploaded as this discussion request below will be pasted onto my midterm essay for the final paper later.
Consider the customers right to privacy, free speech, and/or censorship for your focal organization (reviewing their formal policy statements and public actions with supporting references). What information does the organization collect, how does it collect it, and what does it do with it?
Then consider an instance of cybercrime on the organization (ideally a breach of customer information). What was the nature (i.e., ransomware) and scope (i.e. cost) of the hack, the motivation of the hacker(s) and the outcome?
Given the privacy policy and cybercrime, does the focal organization adequately protect the rights of customers?
For each discussion, students will post an original thread (minimum of 500 words)
Submissions should be considered mini papers, with a clear introduction, content, and conclusion that applies and differentiates course concepts within the focal organization.
