Topics discussed through the course.

1.There were several important themes in chapter 1. Here are a few quotes:

Policy-making and its subsequent implementation is necessary to deal with societal problems.” (Janssen, 2015)

“Policy-making is driven by the need to solve societal problems and should result in interventions to solve these societal problems.” (Janssen, 2015)

“Examples of societal problems are unemployment, pollution, water quality, safety, criminality, well-being, health, and immigration.” (Janssen, 2015)

2.Pick a specific topic that relates to public policy affecting data management, and

Define the topic area

Describe the problems arising from a lack of policy, and

Analyze the most promising ways new policy will be developed or has recently been enacted to address the problems

3 Privacy Concerns

Discussion: How are IT researchers contributing to the body of knowledge regarding information systems and individual privacy?

Choose 2 peer-reviewed studies

Describe the phenomenon, research methodology, population and findings

In your response, pay attention to how the research is conducted, not just subject matter

As doctoral students, you’re learning to be researchers

Again, the scarcity of academic articles might lead you to use practitioner sources, which is fine and provide the industry language needed to perform Google Scholar searches

Example Areas

Government Monitoring (social media, SMS, email)

Traffic Cameras

Re-selling data, data ownership

Health Data

Biometrics

Drone photography

Location Based Services (mobile technology)

…many more
