Ethische Dimensionen der Einführung und Nutzung von Enterprise Systems

As companies become increasingly digitalized, the challenge lies in designing information systems that are not only economically efficient but also ethically responsible. Enterprise Systems (ES) play a vital role in this, yet there is a notable lack of understanding regarding the impact of ethical values on their introduction and utilization. This article is based on a systematic literature review, analysing 66 publications from academic journals and conferences. The review identifies 18 ethical values, such as autonomy, transparency, fairness, and responsibility, that are crucial for the implementation and use of ES. These values provide a solid foundation for both researchers and practitioners to develop ES that are not only functional and economically viable, but also ethically sound. The findings of this analysis offer theoretical insights for the advancement of ES and practical guidance for businesses and users by examining the influence of values on ES.
