Governing Ethics in the Digital Age: The Role of Processes, Practices, and Competencies

Many German corporations agree that ethics are influential for their digital transformation and will become even more important in the future. However, they also experience a certain lack of competencies in regards to digitalization in general as well as a general absence of awareness for ethics-related issues concerning the digitalization amongst their workforce. The aim of this research project thus is to investigate along best practice cases the processes and practices through which corporations can govern the digital transformation responsibly, and to establish the competencies managers and employees need to acquire to address ethics-related concerns relating to the digital transformation.
