Laws do not provide a complete guide to ethical behavior. Just because an activity is defined as legal does not mean that it is ethical. As a result, practitioners in many professions subscribe to a(n) ____________, which states the principles and core values that are essential to their work and, therefore, govern their behavior. For the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), it includes eight moral imperatives that can be used to help guide the actions of IS professionals including: avoid harm to others, give proper credit for intellectual property, and honor confidentiality.
