“…As industry moves towards self-service analytics using big data, several research questions arise, such as the impact of sources and collection methods on data credibility, the impact of access to knowledge on employee satisfaction and knowledge transfer, and organizational norms for knowledge access and transfer (Chatterjee & Sarker, 2013). Further, as big data introduces novel IT artifacts that support large-scale, selfservice, real-time analyses and decision making from vastly integrated enterprise-wide analytics, behaviors and perceptions remain critical to the process of effectively converting knowledge to appropriate decisions and actions.…”

Big data has received considerable attention from the information systems (IS) discipline over the past few years, with several recent commentaries, editorials, and special issue introductions on the topic appearing in leading IS outlets. These papers present varying perspectives on promising big data research topics and highlight some of the challenges that big data poses. In this editorial, we synthesize and contribute further to this discourse. We offer a first step toward an inclusive big data research agenda for IS by focusing on the interplay between big data's characteristics, the information value chain encompassing people-process-technology, and the three dominant IS research traditions (behavioral, design, and economics of IS). We view big data as a disruption to the value chain that has widespread impacts, which include but are not limited to changing the way academics conduct scholarly work. Importantly, we critically discuss the opportunities and challenges for behavioral, design science, and economics of IS research and the emerging implications for theory and methodology arising due to big data's disruptive effects.

“…These questions, of course, are more fundamental than operational questions such as how something can be done more efficiently. Growing interest is being shown by IS researchers in the ethics of IT and information flows (Chatterjee & Sarker, ; Chatterjee, Sarker, & Fuller, ; Mingers & Walsham, ). Ethics are a central concern for critical IS research (Cecez‐Kecmanovic, Klein, & Brooke, ; Stahl, ).…”

Crowdsourcing practices have generated much discussion on their ethics and fairness, yet these topics have received little scholarly investigation. Some have criticized crowdsourcing for worker exploitation and for undermining workplace regulations. Others have lauded crowdsourcing for enabling workers' autonomy and allowing disadvantaged people to access previously unreachable job markets. In this paper, we examine the ethics in crowdsourcing practices by focusing on three questions: (a) What ethical issues exist in crowdsourcing practices? (b) are ethical norms emerging or are issues emerging that require ethical norms? and, more generally, (c) how can the ethics of crowdsourcing practices be established? We answer these questions by engaging with Jürgen Habermas' discourse ethics theory to interpret findings from a longitudinal field study (from 2013 to 2016) involving key crowdsourcing participants (workers, platform organizers, and requesters) of three crowdsourcing communities. Grounded in this empirical study, we identify ethical concerns and discuss the ones for which ethical norms have emerged as well as others which remain unresolved and problematic in crowdsourcing practices. Furthermore, we provide normative considerations of how ethical concerns can be identified, discussed, and resolved based on the principles of discourse ethics.

“…Research on the ethics of IS also contributes to the understanding of ethical challenges in the intersections of technology, human beings, business and society (Ess, 2009). Research in this area contemplates the ethics of information technology (Doss and Loui, 1995; Calzarossa et al , 2009), computer ethics (Peterson, 2002), professional ethics (Haines and Leonard, 2007), piracy and file sharing (Hansen and Walden, 2013), corporate domain ethics (Smith and Hasnas, 1999), social network and internet marketing (Wolf and Fresco, 2016), knowledge management (Chatterjee and Sarker, 2013) and ethical behaviors (Banerjee et al , 1998).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is fourfold: first, to provide the first systematic study on the ethics of blockchain, mapping its main socio-technical challenges in technology and applications; second, to identify ethical issues of blockchain; third, to propose a conceptual framework of blockchain ethics study; fourth, to discuss ethical issues for stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach The paper employs literature research, research agenda and framework development. Findings Ethics of blockchain and its applications is essential for technology adoption. There is a void of research on blockchain ethics. The authors propose a first theoretical framework of blockchain ethics. Research agenda is proposed for future search. Finally, the authors recommend measures for stakeholders to facilitate the ethical adequacy of blockchain implementations and future Information Systems (IS) research directions. This research raises timely awareness and stimulates further debate on the ethics of blockchain in the IS community. Originality/value First, this work provides timely systematic research on blockchain ethics. Second, the authors propose the first research framework of blockchain ethics. Third, the authors identify key research questions of blockchain ethics. Fourth, this study contributes to the understanding of blockchain technology and its societal impacts.
