Abstract

The digital era has raised many societal challenges, including ICT's rising energy consumption and protecting privacy of personal data processing. This paper considers both aspects in relation to machine learning accuracy in an interdisciplinary exploration. We first present a method to measure the effects of privacy-enhancing techniques on data utility and energy consumption. The environmental-privacy-accuracy trade-offs are discovered through an experimental set-up. We subsequently take a storytelling approach to translate these technical findings to experts in non-ICT fields. We draft two examples for a governmental and auditing setting to contextualise our results. Ultimately, users face the task of optimising their data processing operations in a trade-off between energy, privacy, and accuracy considerations where the impact of their decisions is context-sensitive., Comment: Workshop paper for PLSC Europe 2024 (https://www.ivir.nl/nl/plsce2024/)

Abstract

A flurry of regulations has emerged across the world to govern the use, transfer and storage of data, affecting digital and traditional firms, of all sizes. To guide business practitioners and educators, this article provides insights into key components of digital laws and what they mean for different types of firms. We take the European Union as starting point, given its prominent and extra-territorial rule-setting, but also reflect on other cross-border (future) digital regulations. Our analysis of relevant details reveals a need for practitioners to be prepared and forward-looking, considering firms' specifics, internationally converging ethical principles and (future) digitally-aware generations.

Abstract

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) can play an important role in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This article examines what we know about their participation in implementing the SDGs and their impact, both positive and negative, on people, the planet, prosperity and peace as identified in the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda. To this end, we review the research published in the main international business journals on five key SDGs that represent these 'four Ps', grouped into three categories: (1) poverty and inequality, (2) energy and climate change, and (3) peace. We summarize the findings of the 61 relevant studies and subsequently explore the UN's 'fifth P', partnership, both in terms of published research on MNEs and the SDGs, and in terms of a collaborative agenda to help address the large challenges of the 2030 Agenda. In view of the relatively limited research on MNEs and SDGs thus far, academic institutions and international business scholars in particular are well-positioned to offer important insights about the role of business in supporting the SDGs, for which we offer suggestions, also in relation with other key actors., 1. Introduction The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 goals with 169 accompanying targets that set out quantitative and qualitative objectives across the social, economic and environmental [...]
