Abstract:
This study aims to develop an ethical framework for the outcomes of Web-based Collective Intelligence (CI) in business organizations. The framework acts as a governance structure to organize and support the efforts of strategic planners, decision makers, systems analysts and developers in developing ethical collaborative Web-based systems and applications for harvesting an ethical CI in order to achieve the strategic business objectives. It considered five expected ethical outcomes that have to be evaluated and monitored. These outcomes include justice, satisfaction, trust, commitment, and pleasure. The framework suggests that these outcomes act as strategic leverage points to protect organization survival, serving the social acceptance of its existence, improving its public image, and achieving competitive advantage.
