Every day more and more data is generated about all of us. There are some benefits to this data collection – consumers receive more customized service – but also downsides like deep invasions of privacy. This presentation will discuss the role that individuals have with respect to protecting their personal information, the responsibilities of enterprises to use data properly, and the impact and limitations of legislation to govern individual privacy.
Building on the research for his books, Dante’s Infinite Monkeys: Technology Meets the 7 Deadly Sins and Wikibrands: Reinventing Your Company in a Customer-Driven Marketplace, Mike Dover, HBA '91, MBA '97, together with Ivey Professor Niraj Dawar, will discuss the ethics of data collection and the roles consumers, marketers, and regulators should play.
This event is the Gilbert and Margaret Clarke Lecture in Marketing.
