I’m trying to learn for my Business class and I’m stuck. Can you help?
PART1
- Do you think the company reacted appropriately upon learning about the breach?
- What could Equifax have done differently to prevent the cyberattack?
- What type(s) of ethical climate existed at Equifax, and did this contribute to the hacking issues there?
- What changes should managers and the board of directors make now to reduce the likelihood of an incident like this from occurring in the future?
- What types of ethics training would you recommend for Equifax employees in the future to prevent such correct behavior?
PART2
- Do you believe the government (in the United States and other countries) should regulate Facebook to protect its users’ privacy? Why or why not?
- Do you believe that Facebook’s actions so far exemplify working in collaboration with, or in opposition to, government? Why?
- What elements of the public policy process are seen in this case: public policy inputs, goals, tools, and effects?
- Of the reasons described in this chapter to justify government regulation: market failure, negative externalities, natural monopolies, and ethical arguments, which reasons are relevant in this case?
- Since Facebook and other social media platforms are global in nature, is there a need for international regulation to protect consumers’ privacy worldwide? If so, what organization could provide this global regulatory protection?
- What level of responsibility do individuals who use Facebook and other social media sites have to protect their own personal information?
