6. Discuss measures taken to avoid ethical problems that could arise in carrying out a Good Computinganalysis. Use the following table to help identify the pertinent topics
Collection | Analysis | Reporting |
Establish a client-professional relationship | All information, claims, and solutions need to be tested, triangulated, and validated | Intelligibility: check for coherence between problems and recommendation; prepare a clear executive summary; document and attribute; discuss and justify methodology |
Get client consent | Avoid misconduct. Three sins of academic integrity are plagiarism, falsification, and fabrication | Comprehensiveness: (a) scope out topic carefully; (b) avoid extremes of covering too much and too little; (c) be open about limits and boundaries of investigation |
Respect: listen to client, dress professionally, thank interviewee/client for time | Minimize bias and avoid loaded and complex questions | Objectivity and Impartiality: Be sure to report each stakeholder perspective |
Confidentiality: (a) explain how you are going to use information; (b) design measures to prevent unauthorized access; (c) destroy raw data after it has been analyzed | Triangulate, that is, use different methods to collect the same data to overcome limits and biases associated with each data collection method | Deliver bad news proactively by minimizing blame language, presenting solutions, and by providing clear and comprehensive justifications of recommentations |
