Explaining the Connection Between Ethics and the Internet by the Students of the Zagreb School of Economics and Management

Abstract

Ethics and its connection with information and communication technologies (ICT) is used in this article as a basis for contemporary business management. The fast-paced development of these technologies leads to swift development in all segments of society, science and education. Thus, today the half-life of knowledge in most fields of science has a duration of five to six years. Technology development brings with it generations that are increasingly informationally literate, but also the problem of ethics, a discipline which should be an integral part of business management and information and communication technology. The connectedness of these is a precondition for business success. For the purposes of this article the author has examined the attitudes of the younger generation, their thoughts on ethics and the internet as an integral part of the information and communication technologies.
