Ethical IT Innovation

Explaining how ubiquitous computing is rapidly changing our private and professional lives, Ethical IT Innovation stands at the intersection of computer science, philosophy, and management and integrates theories and frameworks from all three domains. It explores the latest thinking on computer ethics, including the normative ethical theories currently shaping the debate over the consequences of technology. It makes the case as to why IT professionals, managers, and engineers must consider the ethical issues when designing IT systems, and then uses a recognized system development process model as the structural baseline for subsequent chapters.
