Selecting a topic \u2022 Students must choose one topic (and accompanying theory) \u2022 Students must choose one real organisation to research \u2022 Bring the topic together in the title of your report e.g., Ethical issues in global fashion: the case of H&M What to do \u2022 Read widely (beyond the textbook) about your chosen topic and theory. Canvas several theoretical perspectives and choose a definition and\/or framework to use for your report. \u2022 Read widely about your case study organisations (e.g., their website, corporate documents, credible news articles), focusing on the key aspects of your chosen topic\/theory \u2022 Prepare a professionally written report (1,200 words, excluding references) – see below instructions \u2022 Prepare 3 (max) PowerPoint slides and record yourself presenting them – see below instructions \u2022 You should cite 10 authoritative sourcesLinks to an external site. (at least 5 academic articles and 5 others, such as reports or trusted media articles). \u2022 Include your references in the report ONLY (not in the PowerPoint slides\/video) How to do it – Part 1: Report The report is to be 1200 words (+\/- 10%). Suggested structure: \u2022 Title page: including a URL link to your video (instructions below) \u2022 Introduction: Provide a background to the case and why you chose it (300 words) \u2022 Issues analysis: Identify 2-3 key ethical issues facing the organisation. Refer to theory that has informed your analysis (500 words). \u2022 Recommendations: Make 3-4 recommendations on how the organization could address these concerns (200 words) \u2022 Conclusion: Summarise key points (200 words) \u2022 Appendix: Include images of your slides How to do it – Part 2: Presentation \u2022 Suggested slide structure (max 3 slides): \u2022 Slide 1: Introduction to the topic , organisation and context \u2022 Slide 2: Outline key issues you identified in your research and analysis \u2022 Slide 3: Present recommendations & conclusions \u2022 Record yourself presenting the slides using PowerPoint (or other) software – we will talk through how to do this in the workshops \u2022 The video should be no longer than 5 minutes (+\/- 10%) \u2022 Upload your finished presentation to studio (see instructions below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Ethical Issues in the Technology Sector: The Case of Meta Platforms Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Explanation<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For this project, the selected topic is data privacy and ethical responsibility in the technology sector<\/strong>, analyzed through the case of Meta Platforms Inc.<\/strong> (formerly Facebook). Meta has been widely criticized for its handling of user data, misinformation, and its role in influencing political outcomes\u2014most notably in the Cambridge Analytica scandal. This makes Meta a compelling case to explore key ethical concerns in the digital age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The theoretical lens used for this analysis is Stakeholder Theory<\/strong>, which posits that corporations must be accountable not just to shareholders, but also to a broader group of stakeholders including users, regulators, and society at large. This theory is suitable because it helps assess how Meta\u2019s decisions impact different groups and where ethical accountability is lacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report will begin with an introduction<\/strong> explaining why Meta was chosen, the context of the technology sector, and the relevance of data ethics today. The issues analysis<\/strong> section will explore three key ethical issues: (1) misuse of personal data, (2) spread of harmful misinformation, and (3) lack of transparency in content moderation and algorithmic decision-making. These will be analyzed using Stakeholder Theory and supported by academic literature and credible news sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the recommendations<\/strong> section, the report will suggest: (1) implementing stronger data governance policies, (2) creating independent oversight committees, (3) investing in ethical AI, and (4) improving transparency reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conclusion<\/strong> will summarize the ethical issues and reinforce the importance of stakeholder-oriented solutions. The accompanying PowerPoint presentation<\/strong> (3 slides) will visually summarize this information for a 5-minute video recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By focusing on Meta and using Stakeholder Theory, the report will provide a comprehensive ethical analysis and constructive recommendations for a more sustainable and responsible digital future<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
