In today's fast-paced modern world, technological advancements have become an inevitable part of life and more importantly, at the workplace. With this growing inter-dependability, workplaces are flooded with the most advanced technologies and equipments to make work easier, faster and better. It so happens sometimes that employees own hi-tech gadgets and equipments, that they carry over to workplaces and utilise them for greater productivity. This trend has been on an increase and apart form numerous benefits, it does give way to cons as well.

The article, "Yours, Mine or Ours" by Lisa Bertagnoli throws light on a disadvantageous aspect of this sharing of technological equipments, by narrating a little incident, before she goes on to talk about one of the topics gaining fast reputation---Business Ethics and its subsidiary, Intellectual Property Rights. She addresses this new practice, as a "new way of working". Employees bring in their personal commodities and gadgets, to workplaces, while some others use company equipments for personal usage. These occurrences has been creating chaos when an employees is shown the door or resigns from job, since one does not know, whether he has been using his own equipment or the company's, as it is very difficult to track down such minor problems, when there are numerous employees involved.

The main ethical problem, dealt with in this business ethics related article, is that of Intellectual Property and the Rights in its fold. One needs to analyse whether allowing employee privacy at the cost of the abuse of Intellectual Property owned by company is an ethical aspect of business. Does the company owner have a right to sue the employee when he uses the information of the company on his personal equipments like his laptop or PDA This topic is related to Virtue Ethics, in terms of the classification under Business Ethics.

This new practice has led to many chaotic occurrences, as when an employee leaves a workplace, he might carry away some of the internal business communication and information, in his personal equipment, thus exposing certain confidential matters. Sensitive information and secrecy are destroyed, since the employee in question could share the information with competitive ventures or sue it for his own benefits. This is termed as the abuse of Intellectual Property and in an workplace where thousands of employees work in tandem, it is extremely difficult to pin point a particular person. Thus, this article relates to problems involved in protecting Intellectual Properties and privacy issues of a company.
