Ethics In The Knowledge Society: Challenges And Perspectives

Abstract


In the contemporary knowledge society, ethics plays a pivotal role in knowledge management and the decision-making processes of enterprises. This article focuses on the analysis of ethical challenges faced by organizations in the governance of knowledge capital, and the strategies employed by businesses to address them. The research was conducted through a questionnaire survey administered to a selected sample of enterprises across various sizes and sectors. The results indicate that the primary ethical dilemmas revolve around the protection of intellectual property, the transparency of information sharing, and equitable remuneration for knowledge contributions. Furthermore, the study identifies the most frequently adopted ethical codes and principles that companies implement to ensure responsible knowledge management. The findings provide valuable insights for managers striving for effective and ethically sustainable knowledge management practices.
