CASE:MONITORING EMPLOYEES ON NETWORKS: UNETHICAL OR GOOD BUSINESS?

1.Should managers monitor employee e-mail and Internet usage?Why or why not?


I believe that it is smart for managers to monitor their employees activities on the Internet while they are at work. Employees are paid for their company work and not their personal work. If an employee is violating the companies policies, harmful and embarrassing information could be leaked to outsiders. However, I believe that managers should make their policies clear about what websites/e-mail/messages employees are allowed to access. Furthermore, If a manager is going to monitor employee activity they should warn the employees first.

2.Describe an effective e-mail and Web use policy for a company.

The all the policies and an effective email and a web use policy must be designed very carefully so the employees can understand and use it for corporate resources. There are many policies that exist in the companies like all the companies have their different policies some of them do not allow any personal activities on the corporate network where as some of them are allow some level of activities that is easily monitored. A better policy will detail exactly what type of activity is acceptable and what is not allowed. The rules for Internet usage should be tailored to specific business needs andorganizational cultures.

3. Should managers inform employees that their Web behavior is being monitored? Or should managers monitor secretly? Why or why not?


I think the company should make the policy inform the employees that they will be monitories by the manager if he has any doubt. Many consultants believe companies should write corporate policies on employee email and Internet use. The policies should include explicit ground rules that state, by position or level, under what circumstances employees can use company facilities for email, blogging, or Web surfing. It is very important to make this policies for a company so the company’s data will be secure and safe.

case study : IS SOCIAL BUSINESS WORKING OUT?

IS SOCIAL BUSINESS WORKING OUT? 1. Identify the management, organization, and technology factors responsible for impeding adoption of internal corporate social networks. Management:  Employees that are used to collaborating and doing business in more traditional ways need an incentive to use social software. Most companies are not providing that incentive: Only 22 percent of social software users believe the technology to be necessary to their jobs. Organization:  Companies that have tried to deploy internal social networks have found that employees are used to doing business in a certain way and overcoming the organizational inertia can prove difficult. Enterprise social networking systems were not at the core of how most of the surveyed companies collaborate.

Technology:  Ease of use and i
