Understanding Technology and Organization Culture According to the ‘closing case study three’ computer technology affects every business operation of the organization and is no longer classified as mere infrastructure since it supports every business strategy of the organization. It is therefore important that an organization’s CEO understands security issues as well as ethical issues associated with computer technology so as to effectively mitigate scandals that arise as a result of the use of computer technology in the company. Understanding security and ethical issues associated with adoption of computer technology enables the CEO develop information management policies that ensures ethics in the workplace and also protect intellectual property rights and intellectual assets of the organization (Swartz, 2007). The manager can enhance adherence to information security by creating a culture that upholds integrity and trust among the employees and all the individuals in the organization.

Stealing of intellectual property rights also discourage innovations in the company (Baltzan, & Philips, 2008).

The executives of non-technological industries have to be careful to protect the intellectual trade secrets of the organization. Individuals in the company with malicious intentions may steal the intellectual property rights for personal gains either for sale to other rival companies or to open up a rival business. Lose of a company’s intellectual property rights to other companies denies the company’s opportunity to gain competitive edge over rival companies (Trim, 2007).
