Different organizations across the world have come up with innovative ways to analyze the capability and fitness of their employees before recruiting. They have tried to use information systems for competitive advantages. This has brought the case study question of the legality of this process. The question is very diverse, and there would be a lot of debates on this topic. Some, if not all, organizations of today use information systems where they run a random search on the internet to access and observe the ethical nature of their potential employers just before recruitment (Kirchme 138). We are in a digital world where the internet has become everything in our lives, so employers have the right to employ this technique while recruiting.
From my own perspective, it is somehow right, considering the current state of the world. Everything in the modern world is the Internet, and for you to know someone’s deep personal touch is just legal, but the web has it all. Drinking and other kinds of behavior, such as parties and other activities, are on the rise amongst the youth, and it is important for employers to know this before recruiting staff in their organizations. However, this does not really apply to other people, given that everybody is not much into the internet despite the fact that the majority are. It is, therefore, important that while posting and doing your staff on such platforms as LinkedIn, you do it with manners and the prescribed code of conduct it requires. Having good conduct on social media platforms and generally on the internet is very useful. It can also be of much benefit where the company seeks to employ people with common interests (Pearlson et al. 11). It can be of great benefit in a scenario where the employer is interested in your code of conduct on the internet, which has become a normal behavior over the past.
Case 2: Streaming Video: In what ways has technology enabled the transformation and destruction of the traditional video rental industry?
Technology has come with great diversity and integration of the entire globe. Just as tech people say, it has made the world a global market where you do not really have to be in a place to see what is happening but just connect, and from the United States, I can see the Civil War in the Middle East and others. These technological deviations have had a great impact on the video industry from time immemorial. It has facilitated the transformation of this industry, as well as the destruction of some of its features.
In the past, rental stores existed where one would go rent a movie and watch it, then return it for others to watch. It was such a tedious and annoying process where you have to drive to these rental industries when he feels like watching a movie. Technology has transformed this, and at your own pleasure, you just tap whatever device you have and download the movie of your choice from the internet and watch. The alternative option of streaming the video live is also a choice. All this happens instantly the moment a movie is released. This kind of technology has destroyed the video rental industries, which have then transformed into sites from which you can download and stream movies. These benefits have come along with technology (Van 5). It has made video renting such an easy activity, and one cannot believe that sometimes back, you had to visit the video renting industries and rent the movies for only a given period.
