GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS
OVERVIEW
The proliferation and ubiquity of technology has presented great
advantages and great challenges. The best practices of companies and
organizations now include governance departments and initiatives to
oversee ethics in their professional environments. Technology is also
governed by legal parameters and legislation is emerging in an attempt
to rein in a free and unregulated Internet/World Wide Web.
The institutional review board (IRB) concept resulted from a series of
events that violated human rights in research. IRBs are also known as
independent ethics committees, ethical review boards, and research
ethics boards. These boards set forth standards for biomedical and
behavioral research involving humans. The purpose is to protect the
human rights of participants in a research study.
Review protocols related to abusive studies such as the Nazi
experimentations and Tuskegee Syphilis Study. The National Research
Act of 1974 produced the Belmont Report, which sets forth criteria for
primary ethical principles in human subjects review such as respect,
beneficence, and justice. An IRB looks for balanced subject risk and
benefits, and outlines informed consent from participants.
Link to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) in the Resources for
information on the IRB process at Capella. Additional information on
IRBs, the project management office (PMO), and IT codes of conduct can
be found in this unit's studies, on the Internet, or in Capella
Library journal resources.
ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Using research from the textbook, your readings, the Capella Library,

principles, standards, and practices in the IT environment. Using the
media presentation as a case study:
* Describe the role of an organization's IRB.
* Describe the role of an organization's technology PMO.
* List and describe the components of an IT code of conduct.
Use references to legislation and governing edicts as applicable.
