Project
Organizational Policy to address an IT-related ethical workforce issue (12%)
Objective: Write an organizational policy (a text-only report with a total minimum of 1,000 words) to address an IT-related ethical workforce issue that you wrote about in your matrix for the B1 assignment.
Note: You must produce an original organizational policy in your original expression. Also, do not quote any source text and do not include any graphics of any kind in your project papers. Only use text and original expression - only that will be counted in addressing the minimum word count and addressing the topic criteria.
Submission Requirements: Submit the assignment response for grading in your corresponding project Assignments Folder as a single attached Microsoft Word file (as an .rtf or .doc format file).
The following elements must be addressed using the following required headings:
Policy Comparison (heading)
Examine and compare other policies to see how they are written.
Note: You should compare at least one policy that covers most of the issues you are addressing. You can include additional policy comparisons as needed. Look for policies that can be accessed via the Web for which we can view via the URL you provide in your reference(s). Use your own criteria for comparing the policies with the objective of justifying and forming the nature of your policy proposal.
Related Organizational Policy (heading)
Use the current ethical IT-related workforce issue you developed in the Project B1 assignment and the Matrix as the basis for providing a high-level representation of a policy that is close to what you are proposing with your own ideas.
Note: The high-level representation you provide should be the equivalent of a brief overview of your proposed policy concepts that would provide a useful review by executive decision-makers in an organization, NOT the details found in the wording of most IT Ethics policy
statements.
Benefits and Outcomes of Policy (heading)
Describe how your policy - the one you are representing at a high level (overview) for this assignment - will help the organization and
describe its positive or negative consequences
Potential Conflicts (heading)
Document any conflicts that may arise between organizational and personal ethical beliefs that this policy-the one you are writing for this
assignment-may impose on you (i.e., the organization for which you are providing a high-level policy proposal for review).
Note: Consider any conflicts between the ethical assumptions that are adopted for the organization in the policy versus individual ethical
beliefs of parties affected by the policy, such as employees, customers, etc.
Code of Conduct Issues (heading)
How does your organizational policy manage a commitment to ethical professional conduct of its members (e.g. code of conduct - code
specifics and need for maintenance, training, etc.)?
Effects of Non-Compliance (heading)
What happens when your policy is not followed? What are the consequences for those who do not comply?
