Human Dignity Business Information Management

Question: Discuss about theHuman Dignityfor Business Information Management. Answer: Introduction While a human person can flourish in his own life, being a part of the society and a greater world, his actions directly or indirectly do influence the common good of the people residing in his community. Since the good of each individual is inextricably connected to the good of the wider group of a community, it is important to choose and evaluate an issue related to my job profession that will help me to cater to the cause of common good (Santorum, 2014). As a student studying Diploma in Business Information Management, I intend to become a Business Information manager in future. Like some of the most unique and exceptional management pioneers I intend to infuse soul-stirring ideals of truth and transparency to the daily, mundane business activities of the organization. It is worthwhile to mention here that the idea of the Common Good revolves around 3 principal ideas- offering respect and dignity to each person one serves, to ensure the social well-being of the society and to provide a sense of stability in the wider society (Fischer, 2014). In order to keep myself associated with an activity that intends to serve the common good, I consider working in an NGO as a Business Information Manager. The job function of a Business Information manager in an NGO or even a public sector organization offers the employee the chance to conduct market research and analyze the information collected for contributing to the strategic decision of the organization (Konick, 2014). This will help the organization sustain itself in future that in turn will help it to serve the go od of a larger community. While the sustenance of the organization will ensure the employability of a large number of people, it will also ensure that a huge number of people will benefit from the service of the specific organization. As a Business Information Manager, I will be able to collect and provide relevant information needed for offering a competitive advantage to the organization at hand, that in turn will enable me to serve the management authority as well as my clients in a dignified and loyal way. Next, by ensuring the sustenance of the organization, the long-term benefits of the people of the community (consumers or clients) is being ensured through the uninterrupted provision of quality service. This will also provide social stability to the residents of the community as well. Besides, every human being has the right to be valued and treated with dignity, without getting his privacy and rights violated by an external authority, irrespective of his sex, cast, creed or religion (Brennan, 2016). While conducting business research on a market, a Business Information Manager may often have to violate the laws of human dignity, compelling or even using external authority, to gather information from a rival organization, without informing them of the same. Such act is not only deceitful by nature, but should be shunned by any professionally responsible manager. Again, however, in order to function in a competitive business world, I will have to remain true to my duty towards the organization I work for. Hence, collecting private information about the external business affairs of the organization is also an integral part of the job role of a Business Information Manager. One has to remain true and loyal to the organization, he is working for, as well. The dignity of any human, irrespective of his ethnicity, cast, creed or color is an important thing to consider. Hence, if I have to collect business information of the rival organizations in an unethical way, it would be an instance of injustice that can deprive an individual to live a life commensurate with dignity. Hence, it is important to ensure that the market research of the other organizations take place only via information collected from published sources on the internet, and also by seeking approval from the respective authorities to interview the employees. The use of third-party people to steal the information of the organization by fraudulent means, or the use of CCTV cameras for gathering the information will harm and disrespect the dignity and common good of the people (McCrudden, 2013). Hence, I will ensure that the other people, who may not be even a part of my organization, is being treated as a mere commodity. Thus, the use of transparent approach while conducting market research on the other organizations will have to be ensured. Reference List: Barak, A.
