INTRODUCTION\n\nAlthough I have a deep personal and professional interest in the Internet, I had never really thought of the Internet as an ethical issue until I was first contacted – by e-mail, of course – by Professor Marc Le Menestrel.\n\nMarc is both Assistant Professor of Management at the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain and visiting Professor of Business Ethics at the international business school of INSEAD [click here] at Fontainebleau, just outside Paris, France.\n\nAt the time that he first contacted me, Marc was in Singapore which is the newly-opened Asia campus of INSEAD. Together with his senior colleague Professor Henri-Claude de Bettignies, he was running a 16-session course with the intriguing title: "Individual, Business & Society: The Ethical Dilemma”. One of the sessions was called “Who should regulate the Internet?” and this session was focussed on a case study of the LICRA vs Yahoo! legal action in France.\n\nSubsequently, I visited the main INSEAD campus at Fontainebleau, talked with Professors de Bettignies and Le Menestrel, and gave a videotaped interview of the Yahoo! case to Marc Le Menestrel and his American colleague Mark Hunter.\n\nThis exchange has led me to think much more about the issue of Internet ethics. Is it an oxymoron, like ‘military intelligence’ or ‘English cuisine’, or is it simply common sense and, in that sense, an orthodoxy?\n\nThis paper examines three related issues:\n\n    * What is the Internet and how does its past development and current operations relate to questions of ethics?\n\n    * Is there a place for ethics on the Internet and, if so, how would this manifest itself?\n\n    * What does the LICRA vs Yahoo! legal case tell us that is relevant to the debate about Internet ethics? \n\nWHAT IS THE INTERNET?\n\nIt is essential to start with some understanding of the history and the nature of the Internet.\n\nWhere did it come from?\n\n    * The Internet started life in 1969 as the US Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency network (known as ARPAnet). It was designed to provide a distributed, flexible and self-healing command network which would enable the US military to continue operating even if Soviet military missiles took out certain geographical locations on the network.\n\n    * Following its creation as a network for the American military, the Internet – as it became called – evolved into a network for the American academic community, starting with universities and then spreading outwards.\n\n    * Newsgroups, where most child pornography on the Net is located, and chat rooms, where children are most vulnerable to approaches by paedophiles, followed the evolution of the ARAPnet into the Internet, but preceded and are independent of the World Wide Web.\n\n    * In 1989, what is now arguably the most popular feature of the Internet, the World Wide Web, was developed by the British scientist Tim Berners-Lee during his time at CERN in Switzerland.\n\n    * If there was one year in which the Web could be said to have taken off, it was in 1993, when the number of users doubled and the Internet really entered media consciousness and public debate. Today there are around 400 million Internet users world-wide. \n\n[For a much more detailed history of the Internet, see the Hobbes Internet Timeline click here]\n\nWhat are the implications of this evolution for the ethics debate?\n\n   1. The distributed nature of the Internet – based on packet switching and the routing and rerouting of packets along multitudinous networks and nodes – makes any central control of the medium impossible, even if it was thought desirable.\n\n   2. The Internet was developed originally for military and then academic purposes. As originally conceived and used, it was a closed network with specific uses and functions and therefore, initially at least, never provoked a debate about ethical issues in the way that cinema or radio or television

I understood you Pankaj. I went to a business conference last month, MBS Convergence. MSCRM looks really good. Here is a link to Microsoft's implementation guide.  In the pdf document, found in the compressed file, there are a few sections on "Managing Implementation". The information looks very similar to some of the break-out session I attended. good luck with your preparations. -r

You'll probably get a message that informs you of this, and usually it'll have a link that you can buy the full version. If not you might want to look it up on microsoft.com for more information.

You should be able to find all the info you are seeking on Microsoft's resource pages. Also, check the groups for Microsoft developers - coders and freelancers. If this doesn't get you to where you want to be and you've exhausted your resources, go to: www.elance.com and pose your question there. This will cost you some money but........ \nYour project (systems architecture for a bank) is calling out for pro advice and you shouldn't settle for less.

wow there's some ppl way off on this one! when partners team up in business they form articles of ethical behavior aside from corporate bylaws. US ethic laws are also inclusive to personal behavior off or on the clock doesn't even come into play. read the ethics codes for lawyers & real estate brokers. Hopefully, you have it in writing as you should, (and even if you dont) and the conduct is egregious to "good will" environment of your company's public face or violates it's ethics policies, holding hands or PDAs etc. have them removed from the partnership or do a forced buy out. what ppl do on or off is not out of scrutiny when youre in the public trust. ENRON \nsay a president who has sex with an intern commits purgery and corrupts the oath of office. they cannot be defended just bc they were on personal time. when a priest, is off the clock that doesn't mean its ok to be on a boy. and their defense its private time, or they misunderstood the bible passage " and He, came into town riding a young ass" is no excuse. private acts affect others, lives and livelihood.

Overview\n\nIn many ways electronic privacy and corporate rights in the workplace are related and dissimilar.  A person’s privacy should extend throughout his or her life, from the privacy of his or her home to the professional environment of the workplace.  Privacy involves the right to exercise control over your personal information.  Privacy protection imposes restrictions on the collection, storage, use, and dissemination of personal information.  Electronic or “new surveillance” is more extensive, decentralized, involuntary, and invisible.  Electronic privacy is posed largely as a problem on the Internet.  Expectations of privacy in the workplace may not be the same as elsewhere.  Employees are not necessarily entitled to a reasonable expectation of privacy in the workplace, particularly in the context of nonoccupational activities. \nEase of Surveillance Today\n\nPowerful computers and high-speed networks simplify the electronic monitoring and tracking of people’s activities.\n·        Computers have removed the ability for individuals to control the ways personal information is used\n·        A gradual erosion of privacy has begun to evolve and effects of the “little brother” is taking over electronic interactions\nElectronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)\n\nEPIC is a public interest research group that advances civil liberties in the electronic age\n\nEPIC Model Privacy Code for the National Information Infrastructure:\n·        The confidentiality of electronic communications should be protected\n·        Privacy considerations must be recognized explicitly in the provision, use, and regulation of telecommunications services\n·        The collection of personal data for telecommunications services should be limited to the extent necessary to provide the service\n·        Service providers should not disclose information without the explicit consent of service users\n·          Service providers should be required to make known their data collection practices to service users\n·           Users should not be required to pay for routine privacy protection\n·        Additional costs for privacy should be imposed only for extraordinary protection\n·        Service providers should be encouraged to explore technical means to protect privacy\n·        Appropriate security policies should be developed to protect network communications\n·        A mechanism should be established to ensure the observance of these principles\nInternet\n\nRules of conduct now found in legislation will not be sufficient to protect privacy.  Microsoft, the giant software company stunned the business world when it announced that it would not sell data about customers to MSN.  From internet interactions, privacy policies will be heavily discussed and new privacy policies will emerge.\n·        The existing Internet builds upon existing communications networks\n·        Computers sift through names, addresses, and telephone numbers provided by company sponsors to generate lists for businesses and marketing efforts\n·        New policies will extend the privacy laws that are already in existence in other countries\nOnline Networks\n\nOnline privacy is currently a heated topic.  Interest in privacy and other consumer issues in cyberspace have become very important topics.  Consumer education is essential to protection consumer privacy in online environments.  The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will address the following issues for online networks:\n·        Consumer expectations for their personal and transactional information\n·        Consumer control over personal and transactional information\n·        Appropriate users of consumer information, including transactional and personality profile information by online service providers and content providers\n·        Consumer consent requirements\n·        Access and correction opportunities for personal information on the nets\nWorkplace Privacy\n\nPrivacy in the wor

Usually, business ethics is a contradiction. In this day and age, ethics and standards for quality are a huge impediment being successful working for most corporations and medium-sized businesses. More than reliability and performance concerns, concerns about whether you'll be too much of an idealist are at the fore when companies interview employees. I think we've got Rome all over again lately.
