List and define the six ethical principles discussed in your text

The six ethical principles are the Golden Rule, Kant's categorical imperative, the slippery slope rule, the utilitarian principle, the risk aversion principle, and the "no free lunch" rule. The Golden Rule proposes: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative proposes: If an action is not right for everyone to take, it is not right for anyone. The slippery slope rule says: If an action cannot be taken repeatedly, it is not right to take at all. The utilitarian principle is: Take the action that achieves the higher or greater value. The risk aversion principle is: Take the action that produces the least harm or the least potential cost. The ethical "no free lunch" rule says: Assume that virtually all tangible and intangible objects are owned by someone else unless there is a specific declaration otherwise.

Write a short note on information systems risk assessment. What are the three ways in which organizations react to perceived risks?

A good approach to securing information systems begins with a thorough information systems risk assessment to obtain an understanding of the risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and systems. Organizations assess the value of the assets being protected, determine their probability of being compromised, and compare the probable costs of their being compromised with the estimated costs of whatever protections they might have to take. This process is known as information systems risk assessment.
The three ways in which organizations react to perceived risks are as follows:
1. Risk Reduction: Taking active countermeasures to protect systems, such as installing firewalls.
2. Risk Acceptance: Implementing no countermeasures and simply absorbing any damages that occur.
3. Risk Transference: Having someone else absorb the risk, such as by investing in insurance or by outsourcing certain functions to another organization with specific expertise.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different integration strategies of ERP modules?

The engineered suite offers solid integration on the back-end and consistent user interfaces throughout. Its single architectural foundation can translate to lower IT support costs because staff can focus on just one platform. However, the individual modules may lack all the rich features users want. Also, switching costs are far higher for ERPs in which all the modules are so interdependent.
Another drawback is that tightly integrated ERP systems can be more difficult to modify to meet changing business needs, compared to more loosely linked best-of-breed systems. What seems like a simple change in the structure of a field will ripple throughout the organization with unintended consequences. Making changes in such systems to meet new business needs can often take longer than expected.
Organizations that use either the synchronized or best-of-breed approach must pay close attention to master data management, since the same information will appear in more than one system. Avoiding the fate in which the different systems report inconsistent versions of the "truth" is a constant challenge.
