E-Commerce Business Ethics Case Studies

In this first case you are introduced to E-Kin. You'll read about the company history, employee biographies, and the case scenario. You'll explore ethical decision making and current issues in e-commerce as you follow the developments of E-Kin -- a fictional company started by college students.

As E-Kin grows and delves into the world of e-commerce, the founders and executives encounter some tough decision making. Should security worries stop the launch of the E-Kin E-commerce site? It's for you to decide.

To begin working on this case, review the following:

• Company Background
• Case Scenario
• Employee Biographies
  

Next, review the Case Questions. Your instructor will assign you to one or more questions. Your instructor will also let you know how to submit your work.
