MAA 640 - Ethical Leadership & Communications

Course unit(s): 1
The misuse of available, accessible data can have ramifications for companies and millions of their customers. The ownership of personal information has been in the public conscience for the past few years due to data breaches, identity theft, and misuse of data. As quickly as a company brand, people recognize company names recently scandalized such as Enron, Wells-Fargo, Facebook, and Cambridge Analytica. Just because data can be accessed, queried, and analyzed to understand a customer’s private details or a company’s buying trends does not mean it should be. This course will cover the ethical standards in place for those in the data analytics industry and the state, federal, and international regulatory rules in place to mitigate misuse.
