Write a summary of this interview and add your thoughts on how this affects the business research process.

In an interview on virtual research ethics conducted with Elizabeth A. Buchanan -- which was published in Information Technology Newsletter in 2004 -- the acclaimed ethicist offered her views on the evolution of ethical conduct in the internet age. As a scholar dedicated to the study of ethics, and the Endowed Chair/Director for the Center for Applied Ethics at the University of Wisconsin/Stout, Buchanan is eminently qualified to express her views on this subject, and her contribution to the greater discussion on ethical research practices should be considered valuable at the very least.

QUALITATIVE ESEACH DESIGNS

Identify and describe some of your initial reactions to the article. What jumped out at you? Did this article spark a desire in you to design a similar study? Why or why not?

My immediate reaction to the article was that it demonstrates how easily and thoroughly conceptual flaws in subject recruitment and selection can undermine the relevance and accuracy of conclusions of even an otherwise well-designed and executed study (Williamson, 2009). On one hand, the study seemed to execute the five stages of critical qualitative research outlined by Carspecken (in Hardcastle, Usher, & Holmes, 2006); on the other hand, it seems to have wasted that execution on a fundamentally flawed set of subject inclusion criteria. Specifically, the study attempted to examine the correspondence and to draw logical inferences from any apparent causal relationship between elements of lived experiences prior to…...

Cigarettes became popular among World War soldiers as "soldier's smoke (Randall 1999)." Camel held 45% of the U.S. cigarette market by 1923 while Philip Morris produced women's cigarette, described as "mild as May." The American Tobacco Company produced Lucky Strike for women and captured 38% of the market. The number of female teenage smokers increased three times between 1925 and 1935 alone. In the spirit of competition, the American Tobacco Company in 1939 launched Pall Mall, which made it the largest tobacco company in the U.S. Cigarette sales went up higher during World War II when cigarettes even became part of soldiers' C-rations with food. Tobacco companies sent free cigarettes to soldiers at war. When they went home, they were a steady source of income to these companies. Alongside in the 50s, more and new evidence about the link between smoking and lung cancer was turning up. Tobacco companies first…...

If she decides to give the results to the company that is sponsoring her, it is her responsibility and she is liable of suffering the consequences.
In order to avoid ethical issues, Jane could organize these interviews as concerning consumers, as a statistical survey that she can publish in the university's newspaper, therefore becoming public knowledge. The identity of the surveyed restaurants should be concealed, otherwise it is unlikely that their staff would be willing to participate in such a study.

If Jane could introduce other factors of interest for the surveyed restaurants in this research project, they might be interested in participating. Also, Jane could reveal the results of her work after she stops being a student at this university. However, this does not eliminate the ethical issues from this situation, but it clears the university of taking part of such actions.

Research ethics is defined as the application of moral rules and professional codes of conduct in the collection, reporting, analysis, and publication of research subjects’ information, particularly the active acceptance of the subjects' right to privacy, informed consent, and confidentiality (Millum & Sina, 2014). The three main objectives of research ethics are the protection of human subjects, ensure that research is carried out in a manner that serves the interests of society, groups, or individuals, and examines particular research activities and projects for their ethical soundness. The ethical case study chosen is case 1. The ethical issues present in the case are privacy and confidentiality, and lack of informed consent. According to the case, Roger was given information after he made a promise he would not reveal the information to anyone else. Therefore, there was no informed consent from the leading shaman. Since there was a verbal agreement that the information…...

Ethics in esearch
For organizations of all types, the last three decades have been crucial in changing the manner in which organizations interact with each other, stakeholders, the government, and themselves. Most of these changes occurred because of the evolution of globalization, which after the Cold War, increased cooperation between nations and regions while, at the same time, increased stakeholder expectations, opened hundreds of new markets, and now requires that organizations operate on a new level. Particularly after the Enron scandal, stakeholders expect more transparency and honesty from organizations. In fact, a recent survey found that 74% want to know more about the ethical stance and nature of a company prior to purchasing from them. At the same time, 92% of FTSE 100 companies provide no metrics, benchmarks, or quantitative measurements within their annual report (Suter, 2012).

Because of advances in technology and communication, this has also bled over into how businesses…...

The ethics of the design research demands that 'the research is valid and that threats to validity have been taken into account', and reporting has been accurate and sufficient details have been listed and supplemented for the clarity and appropriate interpretation of the research content, furthermore 'in qualitative research, it is important to be particularly careful about how to choose direct quotations from the data in the research, and ensure that they are representative' (Ian, 2003).

Many professional associations, government agencies, and universities have developed, adopted and practiced specific codes, rules, and policies relating to research ethics i.e. East Carolina University, National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have developed their own ethical rules related to the design research.

However, there are often no rules, or weak ones, and that can create an ethical dilemma on the part of marketers. They must decide for themselves what lines they want to cross, and set their own codes of ethics. here rules only provide guidelines, these can be open to interpretation. As we have seen with the area of marketing to children, however, the marketing industry has kept ahead of the regulators in how they approach the issue. The government has barely been able to ban Joe Camel, and has no answer for companies that reach children with child-oriented web content that blends.

Developing Rules

In order to create a code of ethics where there are no laws to provide guidance, there are bodies that have taken the lead. A company should begin, for example, with a statement of ethical norms from the American Marketing Association (2012). There are three ethical norms that…...

Ethics

Ethics is a branch of Philosophy and deals with the basics questions about right and wrong, virtue and vice, as well as good or bad nature of things human beings do in their daily lives. Thus, ethics is essentially related to the moral aspect of things. A thing, act, or idea of practice might be legally correct but may not be morally sound in given conditions. For instance, the pursuit of profit by firms is legally correct but ignorance to the well being of society in which that firm operates is morally incorrect. Essentials of ethics: The essential elements of ethics are related to the character of actions being taken by the human beings. The topic essentially deals with the behavior and its outcomes with respect to the impact created on fellow human beings and society as a collective social unit. Following are some…...

The Bureau of Land Management/Department of the Interior videos illustrate a wide variety of issues related to ethics in administrative civil service positions. All of the ethical dilemmas and issues addressed are outlined and codified in publications and handbooks. However, no booklet can cover the nuances and extent of all ethical situations and especially the trickiest conundrums. As the video points out, there is no substitute for actual advice from a skilled professional in the field of ethics counseling. This is why departments like the BLM or the Fish and Wildlife Service have on staff ethics counselors. Ethics counselors are on call to answer questions and solve dilemmas when they arise, thus preventing problems that can lead to severe penalties ranging from fines to probation and/or prison. All employees are responsible for their own ethical conduct, which is why it is not possible to plead ignorance in cases like those…...

Milgram's study illustrates that many who have had the responsibility taken from them are although not happy but content to continue with a procedure as long as they are not directly held responsible, thereby giving rise to an obedience through social bonding and situations (Hayes & Orell PG).

In this situation in a comparison with the Tuskegee experiment and Milgram's experiment it can be argued that the members of the medical team were acting under orders from the government and therefore were blameless in their experiments as were the teachers in theory only following orders, obviously this form of passing blame can be seen be as a paradigm in ethical understanding as we are all cogent beings with the ability to reason and question yet it seems when a person is actively allowing himself to take the blame as such then all reason as to ethical understandings of what is right…...

This impacts the entire citizenry, not just the think tank or its backers. Again, we reach the intersection between classical ethics philosophy and economics. hether or not a think tank strives to eliminate bias from its published research, if that research influences public policy to the detriment of the populace, it would be considered unethical. Resnick (2007) promotes the idea that research ethics are important to maintain the trust of the public in such research. hen considering the outcomes of published research, we must then consider whether an economic think tank bears any duty of care towards the populace at large.
It such a duty of care is not owed to the populace, to whom is it owed? This brings back the question of motivation. Basic motivation theories such as Maslow's Hierarchy discuss motivation in terms of human needs (NetMBA.com, 2007). Applied to an organization, we find the heart of…...

Ethics to Practice: Analysis of 'end of life' decision making
The foregoing discussion is an incursion into nursing ethics. Implication(s) to 'omission' of information as a customary practice within our healthcare institution is reviewed in relation to best practices pertaining to 'informed consent,' and hospital policy is not definitive. Directed at the evolution of ethical decision making, the general query to the study focuses on the parameters of informed consent where individual practice is concerned.

In the nation of Canada where I am a nurse the number of situations where patient informed consent decisions might be subject to our national code of nursing ethics is many. e face critical ethical dilemmas every day, as emergency procedures and critical care interventions are standard practice. Complexity in decision making is furthered in the conduct and approaches made by international colleagues on contract in our institution by way of exchange.

Criminal justice research presents a unique set of ethical challenges. Two of the most significant ethical challenges include the need to protect participant confidentiality, and the need to pursue research that promotes social justice. Lowman & Palys (2001) analyze some of the ethical and legal threats to confidentiality, showing how criminal justice researchers can balance their legal and ethical obligations with their commitment to research efficacy, validity, and reliability. Nouwen (2014), on the other hand, is concerned with the research questions and methodologies used to investigate issues related to social justice, advocacy, and human rights. Both of these are important issues to consider when designing and applying criminal justice research.

EDUCATION ADMINISTATION Education Administration: Ethics of esearchThe use of ethics in research has been carried out for a long time. Informed consent is one of the ley concerns in research ethics, dating back to 1946. The Nuremberg Code was formulated in 1948, making it mandatory for the human participants to give informed consent after the German military conducted several medical experiments on soldiers kept as prisoners without their consent (University of Nevada, Las Vegas, n.a.). During the 1950s, to ensure that drug efficacy was appropriately tested before giving to the participants or anyone from the public, the US Senate asked to follow the Kefauver Amendments for drug use safety.A concern of research ethics arose in a 1932-1972 study called Tuskegee Syphilis study that was conducted upon 600 low-income African American subjects for 40 years. Although they were guaranteed free medical treatment to study the disease, this was not the case.…...

AIDS Ethics: Navigating Moral Dilemmas in the Time of a Pandemic

Introduction

The advent of AIDS in the 1980s not only unleashed a devastating pandemic but also ignited a storm of ethical quandaries. The disease, marked by its insidious nature and social stigma, laid bare the inadequacies of existing healthcare systems and highlighted the urgent need for ethical frameworks to guide decision-making. This essay delves into the intricate web of AIDS ethics, exploring various topics that have challenged our moral sensibilities and continue to shape our response to the pandemic.

1. The Right to Privacy vs. the Duty to Disclose

One of the most....

Methodology

This research will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing student dropout rates.

Data Collection

Qualitative Data:

In-depth Interviews: Interviews will be conducted with students who have dropped out of school, exploring their experiences, motivations, and barriers to continuing their education.
Focus Groups: Focus groups will be used to facilitate discussions among a diverse group of stakeholders, including students, parents, teachers, and administrators, to gather insights on factors impacting dropout rates.

Quantitative Data:

Questionnaire Survey: A structured questionnaire will be distributed to current students to collect data on....

1. Respect for Autonomy: Just as humans have the right to make decisions about their own lives, animals should also have autonomy over their own bodies and lives. This means that we should not exploit or harm animals for our own gain without their consent.

2. Non-Maleficence: People have a duty to not harm others, including animals. This principle should guide our actions in ensuring that animals are not subject to unnecessary suffering or cruelty.

3. Beneficence: We should strive to promote the well-being of animals, just as we do for humans. This can involve providing animals with proper care, shelter, and....
