(5)Information ethics
“Information ethics” are information morals and manners that should be
observed in an information society.
In modern society, where information is obtainable through many means,
there is a need to be aware of rights such as intellectual property rights,
copyrights, and privacy rights. The Internet occupies an important position
today as a place for handling information, and provides a level of anonymity that tends to give rise to ethical issues, which makes it necessary to observe “netiquette” in particular.
●Netiquette
“Netiquette” is a form of etiquette that is used on networks. The following are some rules of netiquette.
• Use encryption to send e-mail that is to be kept confidential.
• Indicate your name or other personal identification in public e-mails.
• Refrain from sending large volumes of data. Send compressed data.
• Do not send multiple unspecified e-mails such as advertisements.

• Do not use characters that are specific to a computer such as single-byte
katakana characters and special symbols.
• Do not handle images that are morally indecent.

Corporate governance
In recent years, corporate and government scandals are surfacing one after
another, and scandals similar to those in the past are recurring. Despite the
considerable fallout that can result such as loss of customers and profit,
sharp decline in share prices, and bankruptcy, there is no indication of
scandals decreasing.
These scandals not only damage the image of corporations, but they also
damage the interests of stakeholders including investors, business partners,
and customers.
Under these circumstances, there is a growing need for corporations to
achieve transparency and clarify their responsibilities, as well as promote
them to internal and external persons. “Corporate governance” sets forth
principles for continually monitoring corporate activities, and checking the
transparency and health of management to provide a framework that prevents scandals within management and organization.
Corporate governance is attained through a number of methods including
the appointment of appropriate external directors, enhancement of the
framework for information disclosure, and strengthening of the auditing
department.
