Abstract

Social networks produce vast quantities of information that are occasionally relevant to the media agenda. Journalists are faced with the dilemma of whether or not to use social networks as regular sources because they tend to lack qualities like credibility and durability, essential in traditional journalism. The origin of the information from social platforms cannot always can be verified or even identified. We look at the media scene in Spain, where social networks have a relevant and ever-increasing role, and analyze if social media sources are valid, or if professionals should regard them as tools to be used with caution and skepticism. Our study explores the ethical and professional implications of social networks as an information source and as a feedback system.

Abstract

The generation of trust is a direct consequence of the assumption of social responsibility criteria in corporate governance. The ability to generate confidence can be measured through indicators. This article focuses on television entertainment programs broadcast in Spain. Based on a review of the academic and professional literature and the initiatives developed internationally, an integrated protocol of indicators is proposed to measure the generation of confidence of the consumer in these programs. The validation of this protocol, as well as the weight attributed to each of the indicators included in it, has been obtained through consultation with expert members from each one of the different stakeholders of the audiovisual value chain, following the Delphi method.

Abstract

La comunicación y la responsabilidad social de las organizaciones se han concebido y utilizado como dos ámbitos separados, cuya relación sólo es instrumental. El resultado ha sido la actual desconfianza hacia los mecanismos y procedimientos de información de la responsabilidad social. Este artículo propone apoyarse en una ética de la comunicación para, desde ahí, definir las bases para una gestión ética de la comunicación de la responsabilidad social capaz de explicitar la relación entre ética, comunicación y responsabilidad. El objetivo es exponer los rasgos básicos de una nueva generación de códigos de ética que incluyan tanto las medidas de su cumplimiento como su verificación externa a través de una auditoría ética. La importancia de esta propuesta deriva de la necesidad de establecer una infraestructura ética desde la que recuperar la confianza en la comunicación de la responsabilidad social. La metodología utilizada es de corte reconstructivo y se basa en la teoría de la acción comunicativa de Habermas y en las pretensiones de transparencia y participación derivadas de la ética discursiva. AbstractOrganizations’ communication and social responsibility have been conceived and used as two completely separate areas, whose relationship is merely instrumental. This has led to a current lack of trust in the mechanisms and procedures of corporate social responsibility information. This article proposes an ethics of communication that defines how to ethically manage corporate social responsibility communication which is capable of specifying the relationships that link ethics, communication, and responsibility. The objective is to present the basic traits of new codes of ethics generation that include both compliance measures and their external verification by ethical auditing. The proposal is important because it establishes an ethical infrastructure from which to recover trust in corporate social responsibility communication. The employed methodology is reconstruction, based on Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action, and also transparency and participation claims that result from discourse ethics.

Abstract

Part 3: - WCNS 2011 Workshop; International audience; Collaborative Intrusion Detection Networks (CIDN) are usually composed by a set of nodes working together to detect distributed intrusions that cannot be easily recognized with traditional intrusion detection architectures. In this approach every node could potentially collaborate to provide its vision of the system and report the alarms being detected at the network, service and/or application levels. This approach includes considering mobile nodes that will be entering and leaving the network in an ad hoc manner. However, for this alert information to be useful in the context of CIDN networks, certain trust and reputation mechanisms determining the credibility of a particular mobile node, and the alerts it provides, are needed. This is the main objective of this paper, where an inter-domain trust and reputation model, together with an architecture for inter-domain collaboration, are presented with the main aim of improving the detection accuracy in CIDN systems while users move from one security domain to another.

Abstract

Automated driving is one of the most discussed disruptive technologies of this decade. It promises to increase drivers' safety and comfort, improve traffic flow, and lower fuel consumption. This has a significant impact on our everyday life and mobility behavior. Beyond the passengers of the vehicle, it also impacts others, for example by lowering the barriers to visit distant relatives. In line with the CHI2019 conference theme, our aim is to weave the threads of vehicle automation by gathering people from different disciplines, cultures, sectors, communities, and backgrounds (designers, researchers, and practitioners) in one community to look into concrete future scenarios of driving automation and its impact on HCI research and practice. Using design fiction, we will look into the future and use this fiction to guide discussions on how automated driving can be made a technology that works for people and society.

Abstract

The foreseeable advent of conditionally automated cars (CAC) at SAE Level 3 opens up a multitude of questions that have to be addressed for a safe adoption of the new vehicle technology. To explore the opinions of other road users affected and especially of the vulnerable road users – pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists – on CACs, a population survey of road users was conducted in the EU member states France, Germany, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden as well as in Australia and in the USA within the EU-funded project BRAVE. On the basis of 6,608 survey data sets, the study provides reliable findings on acceptance and trust in CACs from a road user’ perspective, on the use of external human-machine interfaces (HMI) as well as on ethical and legal considerations. The road users’ acceptance of CACs appears to be rather positive in principle but varies between the road user groups. At the same time, doubts in trust in CACs from the perspective of the studied groups of road users are identified. Different opinions on ethical and legal issues arise which vary also according to the respondents’ country of residence.

Abstract

Facebook was involved in one of the most important scandals of recent years owing to its legal, political, social, and ethical implications. The Cambridge Analytica case, which has still been insufficiently addressed as an object of study in its full complexity, highlights the incalculable value of user data and the potential for their manipulation. This marked the beginning of the decline of Facebook’s reputation owing to a combination of negative situations and that has continued since. This paper analyzes the case and its implications in terms of the concepts of reputation and crisis, highlighting the importance of a positive image and its impact on different stakeholders, and points to the rebranding as Meta as a false closure of a crisis of confidence that continues today.

Abstract

The paper discusses theoretically and examines empirically the influence of the relationship commitment on collaborative behaviour in supply chains. In today's unstable business environment companies should collaborate to achieve mutual goals and competitive advantage. Defining relationship commitment and collaboration in supply chains (from social exchange theory point of view) is the basis of the research of this paper. Our aim is to examine the influence of relationship commitment on collaboration in supply chains in Slovenian economy. The qualitative research part discusses if the relationship commitment between partners in supply chain influences the collaborative behaviour between partners and which are the antecedents of relationship commitment. The research is based on a quantitative analysis of the online questionnaire survey made on the Slovenian economy. The research results show strong influence of trust and relationship commitment on collaboration between partners in supply chains. V članku teoretično osvetlimo in empirično dokazujemo vpliv pripadnosti odnosu na kolaborativno vedenje med partnerji v oskrbovalnih verigah. Sodelovanje je v sodobnem času hitrih sprememb nujno potrebno za doseganje zastavljenih ciljev in konkurenčne prednosti. Teoretično osnovo za naše raziskovanje predstavlja teorija družbene menjave. Naš cilj je preveriti vpliv pripadnosti odnosu na sodelovanje med partnerji v oskrbovalnih verigah v slovenskem gospodarstvu. S kvantitativno raziskavo smo ugotavljali, ali pripadnost odnosu in zaupanje vplivata na kolaborativno vedenje med partnerji v menjalnem odnosu v oskrbovalnih verigah, hkrati pa smo ugotavljali, kateri so dejavniki, ki vplivajo na pripadnost odnosu. Raziskavo smo izvedli s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika, v katerega smo zajeli ustrezen delež organizacij v slovenskem gospodarstvu.
