While Business-to-Consumer (B2C) e-commerce has increased sales opportunities for the seller, it has also created new threats for potential customers, one of which is their privacy invasion. Personal information privacy is becoming a matter of increasing concern over the Internet. In this review, a description of privacy concerns is attempted and empirical studies in this area are reviewed. The descriptive review includes the antecedents of privacy and security concerns, and privacy assurances. A description of privacy and security concern perspectives and dimensions is also reported in the area of current e-commerce development and policies in Malaysia. The conclusion for the study suggests that privacy assurances, such as Web privacy policy, legislation, and Internet seal of approval will contribute to reduce these perceived threats. It also appears that online privacy concerns are still not solved if personal information is not secured when the above policies and regulations cannot enforce the principles of data privacy. This implies that online security is an important feature to protect and secure personal information. Thus, privacy and security concerns can be a major critical risk factor for the success of B2C e-commerce. No prior studies have yet addressed the issue of privacy concerns in Malaysia. This may therefore need further research to understand the current practices here. / Thesis (DBA(DoctorateofBusinessAdministration))--University of South Australia, 2005.

This thesis maps the values that have guided the asylum policy decisions of Australia's political leaders over the past half-century, drawing on archival records and interviews with former immigration ministers and senior public servants. For comparative purposes, it also maps the values shaping the views of asylum among leaders of a supra-national organization (the European Commission) and of a major non-government organization (the Jesuit Refugee Service). The findings support the view that a culture of control permeates Australian asylum policy decisions, and that the quest for control stems from perceptions of national interest as articulated in immigration and foreign policy. However, beneath this it shows the primary values shaping policy to be nation building and good governance in the case of the Australian leaders, and (European) community building in the case of European Commission leaders. Building on a 'caring for us, caring for them' conundrum found running through the values of all three groups of leaders, and seeking a secular equivalent to the faith-inspired relational approach of the Jesuit Refugee Service leaders, the thesis explores the contribution an ethics of care might make to asylum policy design, delivery and evaluation. It argues that such an approach, in which care is conceived as a value, process and practice rather than a sentiment or theory, is well suited to the area, especially when refined to provide for the work of empathy and imagination. It concludes by considering the potential implications for Australian asylum policy if an ethics of care were adopted. The primary goals of the thesis are a better understanding of the issues involved in asylum policy, and the articulation of an ethical approach potentially as engaging of policy insiders as of policy spectators.
