"Depuis plus de cinquante ans, le développement de l'Union européenne a été un facteur de paix et de prospérité pour l'ensemble des pays qui en ont été les fondateurs ou qui l'ont rejointe, au fil des élargissements. Aujourd'hui l'Europe est confrontée, comme le reste du monde, à la crise financière et à ses graves conséquences économiques. Bien des peurs, des crispations identitaires ou des tentations de repli sur les particularismes nationaux ou régionaux peuvent se faire jour, alors que l'issue ne peut se trouver que dans la concertation et dans une plus grande solidarité, compte tenu de l'imbrication de plus en plus forte de nos économies."Date

But What IS the 'Right Thing'?: Ethics and Information Systems in the Corporate DomainSmith, H. Jeff (AIS Electronic Library (AISeL), 2008-02-08)Information systems executives, and other executives, are often prodded to "do the right thing" when they face ethical quandaries. But how do they determine what is "right" ethically, especially when the ethical quandaries occur in the corporate domain? Some individuals rely solely on their own emotions, but they often have a hard time convincing rational thinkers to embrace their position. Other individuals rely on traditional philosophical theories, but this approach is seldom optimal in the corporate domain because the traditional philosophical theories do not specifically address the corporate setting. However, two theories do address ethical quandaries in the private sector: stockholder theory and stakeholder theory. This article discusses these two theories. Stockholder theory holds that executives should resolve ethical quandaries by taking actions that maximize the long-term profits to stockholders without violating the law or engaging in fraud or deception. Stakeholder theory claims that executives should resolve ethical quandaries by balancing stakeholder interests without violating the rights of any stakeholder. These theories are explored by first applying them to a specific real-world quandary: Blockbuster Video's reported plans to market its customer lists. Then the theories are applied to several other current quandaries. Finally, the article explores action steps for applying each theory.
