Social and Ethical Implications of ICT
Economic Effects
These are the possible consequences within the economic system of a community, company or project due to an action.
As well as the scope in the population and in the environment such as:
- Job creation.
- The growth of the region.
What do you mean economic effects?
When something has an economic impact, it causes consequences in the economic situation of a person, a community, a region, a country or the world.
The economic impact is associated with the effect of a measure or decision on the economy.
Business Strategies
The business strategy is a guide for action in business for any company to direct its expansion and define its scope, setting objectives that not only satisfy basic needs and adding decision rules that seek orderly growth.
This strategic planning, if successful, allows companies not to depend only on the emergence of a business opportunity and also not to commit their resources until the last moment, thus reducing the financial risk of making bad decisions, making bad investments or of losing control over budget allocation.
Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the discipline that deals with the design of workplaces, tools and tasks, so that they match the physiological, anatomical, psychological characteristics and the capacities of the workers that will be involved.
It seeks the optimization of the three elements of the system (human-machine-environment), for which it develops methods of the person, the technique and the organization.
What is ergonomics at work?
It is the scientific study of human work. Ergonomics considers the physical and mental capabilities and limits of the worker when interacting with tools, equipment, work methods, tasks and the work environment.
Privacy
Privacy can be defined as the scope of an individual's personal life, which takes place in a reserved space, whose main purpose is to remain confidential. It also applies to the quality of private.
Privacy is what a person carries out in a reserved environment (forbidden to people in general). A subject, therefore, has the right to keep his privacy out of the reach of other people, ensuring the confidentiality of his private things.
Threats and Security Controls
What are the security threats?
Threats to information security threaten its confidentiality, integrity and availability. There are threats related to human failure, malicious attacks or natural disasters.
What is a private security threat?
For its part, a threat is any action that takes advantage of a vulnerability to attempt against the security of an information system. In other words, it could have a potential negative effect on some element of our systems.
