Abstract

This case addresses a multi-dimensional big data ethics dilemma. Ahmet Meraklı, the owner of Ereuna Research, finds himself in a tricky situation, which can lead to both a major professional accomplishment and an ethical challenge. A joint project run by Ereuna Research and Future Data, a start-up founded by an academic specialising in data science, Dr Elif Budak, had just begun to generate valuable results through what some might see as a potentially controversial process.
