By A Customer
This review is from: Case Studies in Information and Computer Ethics (Paperback)
I am using this book for an information systems management course that I am taking over the internet. It gives a fantastic look at how ethics are involved and applied to computer usage. The case studies presented deal with very current ethical issues that are relevant to the computer industry today.
