Opis

The enactment of laws that enhance the openness of government and human rights have generated discourse that has bearing on information management. Emerging ethical concerns have also added to the debate. These laws are mostly developed without thought made on their impact on information management or the impact of information management on their efficacy, let alone ethical concerns. Yet, when these laws are implemented, they have bearing on the manner information is created, classified, used, and disposed. Legal and Ethical Issues in Information Management is a critical research publication that explores the legal and ethical issues, current and emerging, that affect information management with the reverse being the effect of information management on them. It brings together ethical and legislative paradigms, theoretical reasoning, research, and practical experiences to guide practice and influence further research and policy development. Featuring a wide range of topics such as ethical reasoning, information management, and data analytics, this book is essential for academicians, policymakers, archivists, records managers, government officials, lawmakers, knowledge managers, data managers, researchers, practitioners, and students.
