The first part of the midterm is Definition of Terms and the second will consist of two short answer questions.

For the Definition of Terms section, you will be assigned 10 terms. You will briefly provide a definition (one point), and then, also for each, state brief significance (for example, why did we talk about the term? ; what is the larger context of the term? ; how is the term connected with other terms?)

• The larger context of the term
• How it connects with other terms/concepts

Definition of TERMS

FOR THIS DISCUSSION:

Identify a specific legal or ethical (or combination) operational risk that yousee to be a compelling concern for a business today and propose a best practice that in your opinion a business can utilize to effectively prevent or mitigate that risk.

In your initial post explain (with an example):

• the specific legal or ethical risk,
• the best practice, and
• how you would implement the practice

Keep using the law to support the conclusions

For this activity, you will identify three ethical guidelines for the IC to follow. Review the Hudson and Snow readings as an overview of the discussion on the need for ethical structure in the IC. The activity for this week requires you to create a 750-word essay to address three suggested ethical requirements all Intelligence Community agencies must adhere to in order to conduct intelligence operations in a free society. First, provide an introduction of why the IC needs ethical standards. You may take the position that there is no need for standards, but you must explain why. If you feel there is a need for ethical standards, identify three standards you would want implemented. Address why the standards are important and what would each standard implement. If you feel there is no need for standards, address three issues that may cause concern either within the media or by an adversary if they were to become widely circulated and public knowledge.

Write a short essay (2 3 pages, 500 750 words):

Think about what three principles are supreme in your life and could be used as a catch phrase or a motto on a family crest. Explain why you chose these principles and how they affect your daily life. Do you always follow this principles under all situations? Are there any instances when even these highest principles should be set aside?

Competency In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency: Differentiate between matters of law and matters of ethics in business situations Scenario Evaluate the issues raised by employee Daris Jones in the situation below. Determine if the company is acting legally and ethically in its use of the WorkWhen! system. Read the scenario and respond to the questions that follow for analysis. Apex Retail Corp, a national chain of retail stores, recently implemented the WorkWhen! GPS tracking system. Employees have been directed to install the system on their phones, which they are required to carry for scheduling, communication, and logistics. The Issue: The WorkWhen! app uses GPS to track employee locations. Apexs policy states that this tracking is primarily for ensuring the safety of its employees during work-related travel and to monitor vehicle use for delivery tasks. However, the apps functionality is active 24/7, even outside of work hours. The app can zero in on restaurants, churches, clubs, bars, and every other location an employee visits when not working. A new AI application can also provide the employer with detailed information about the locations trackedthe name of the business, its purpose, and other related information. Several employees have expressed concerns about being monitored during their personal time, such as while they were attending medical appointments, going to social events, or even going on vacations. One employee, Darius Jones, tested the tracking by checking the apps activity log. He discovered that his supervisor had access to detailed location data for his off-hours activities. One evening a week, he attends an anonymous alcohol recovery program, and he is uncomfortable that the tracker can identify exactly where he is and why. When Darius raised concerns, his manager Mike claimed the tracking was harmless and purely for operational purposes. Mike then explained that it is important for employees to realize that they represent the company when theyre on and off the clock. After Darius disabled the tracking feature during his time off, he was reprimanded for noncompliance with company policy. This reprimand led Darius to file a complaint with a state labor board, alleging an invasion of privacy and retaliation for asserting his rights. Directions Report Evaluate the ethical and legal implications of advances in technology in business. Your evaluation should be framed as a report for the owner, Apex Retail, that includes the sections and information listed below. Cite your sources using APA style. Introduction Include a definition of ethics and an explanation of how ethics compares to law. Provide an explanation of corporate social responsibility and how it relates to ethical business practices. Analysis Provide a summary of the ethical and legal issues involved in this situation. Briefly describe the relevant stakeholders, key facts, and potential implications or impact of the situation. Elaborate and explain your answers. For example, does Apexs policy and use of WorkWhen! violate state or federal privacy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) and Work or Biometric Privacy Laws? Is it ethical for Apex to track employees during their personal time, even if no misuse of the data is alleged? Should companies be allowed to enforce policies that impact employee autonomy outside of work hours? What are the potential implications of such policies and decisions? Recommendation: Include a viable recommended course of action. What safeguards should Apex implement to ensure the system is used only for its intended purpose? How could Apex address employee concerns while maintaining operational needs? Conclusion: Describe how advances in technology in the modern business world have both legal and ethical implications. Ethical Test or Framework Select a test or framework for Apex to use in evaluating the use of a tracking device on employees. Demonstrate how the ethical theory you chose could be used when faced with an ethical dilemma. Cite your sources using APA style. Test or framework Select a test or framework option from among those described in the textbook. Name the option you selected and describe the test or framework, including its advantages and potential shortcomings. Explain why the test or framework that you selected is appropriate for this company; justify your selection. Apply the test or framework to the scenario to demonstrate how Apex could have used it to guide its use of employee monitoring tools. What to Submit Your submission should be a 4- to 6-page Microsoft Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Use chapter 33, 35, and 42 in Dynamic Business Law, 2025 Release
