Research Objectives
The study's major purpose is to figure out how businesses might make ethical use of
computers as an information system to boost productivity. Through an investigation of a
vehicle company, the report will make this crucial goal a reality. Other secondary objectives
include establishing the variables required for ERP operations, determining the challenges
that the ERP system can solve, and determining how the organization relates its strategy to
technology adoption.
Introductions
This research examines Toyota's ethical standards in terms of Guidelines for Ethical Use of
Computers and Networks at Toyota, communication challenges, and safety concerns, all of
which are linked to conflicts of interest between corporate lobbying and government
legislation. Exploratory analysis is also used in this paper to investigate the recent safety
crisis that has had a significant impact on the Toyota vehicle market. The document
connects the two ethical perspectives of transparency and communication, highlights the
importance of ethical standards in the Toyota crisis, and poses a new question regarding
how they can be compromised on safety issues during the crisis. Ethics issues, a lack of
transparency in the discussion, and conflicts have all contributed to this. Companies
continue to encounter strategic difficulties in today's business environment, which can
result in a defeat of marketplace share, poor acts, or even insolvency. Toyota, the world's
largest vehicle manufacturer based in Japan, is one of these top corporations (Nkomo,
2013). Despite the fact that the corporation provides a wide range of vehicles to its global
clients, it confronts a number of issues, and sales stagnation in the domestic because of
marketing issues, price tactics, and sluggish sales.
Toyota's history dates back to 1933 when it was a section of the Toyota Automatic Loom
Factory specialized in the production of automobiles, led by Toyota Kiichiro, the founder's
son. In 1929, Toyota Kiichiro traveled to Europe and the United States to research
automotive production, and in 1930, he began researching gasoline engines. Because the
war necessitated the development of domestic autos, the Japanese government supported
the Toyota Auto Loom Factory to develop automobile production. On September 1, 1933,
Kiichiro Toyota took advantage of the chance to establish an automobile production
department and begin building prototype automobiles (History.com Editors, 2021). AA
passenger automobiles were first produced in 1936. The early vehicles bear significant
resemblances to the Dodge-powered station wagon and Chevrolet of the 1930s, and some
parts were exchanged back to the original American. Despite the fact that Toyota is best
identified for its automobiles, it is still active in the textile industry, producing hi-tech
automatic looms and electronic stitching machineries all over the world.

Ethical Programs as ethical standards in Toyota Corporation
To capture the phenomenon of Toyota's ethical standards, research of Farrell, who pointed
out that to stimulate ethical behavior in commercial spaces, companies must design ethical
plans that provide a good environment ethical to facilitate the reporting of observed
misconduct and protect whistleblowers. In addition, other debates have shown that
violations of ethical standards begin when employers exceed the limits of the ethical
standards defined by the company's code of conduct. For this reason, accumulated
important insights into Toyota's beliefs and misrepresentations regarding ethical car safety
behavior, and we concluded that the company did not mention any ethical program.
Therefore, ethical standards remain an abstract concept, explicitly or implicitly promoting
Toyota's unethical behavior in matters of safety and communication. This is a report on
documents received by the Countrywide Highway Traffic flow Administration indicating that
Toyota employees were aware of design flaws that could cause acceleration problems
before any accidents occurred in 2006. Recently, new laws and regulations have been
introduced to prevent plans that intentionally or unintentionally violate the law and
promote business ethics and social responsibility. The development of reporting systems
has progressed in most companies, and these companies have some methods for
employees to report observed inappropriate behavior. Studies by (Farrell, Fraedrich, and
Linda Farrell) have, however, again revealed that while it is possible in companies with
unethical challenges such as Toyota that ethical positions are informed, the real problem
might be that a significant proportion of employees in the United States still do not report
undethical conduct. In previous research by Rosthhorn (2000), whistle blowers may also be
an ethical norm that might motivate employer reporting or accompany ethical behavior by
means of anonymous reporting mechanisms, such as hotline, to external individuals who are
external to the organization. However, there is nothing about the detailed laws protecting
complaints that serve as ethical standards. They are often labeled as traitors, and many
people are usually forced to retire early or resign. The University of Pennsylvania
investigation confirmed the argument made earlier in the report, that 69% of the 300
complainants were either unemployed or forced to retire after revealing that their company
had engaged in unethical behavior. In the same vein, the analysis acknowledges that the
aforementioned dispute confirms that, unsurprisingly, Toyota employees are aware that
design flaws that can lead to safety through acceleration issues have never been reported.
Other employees commit to necessary social responsibilities, adhere to business strategies,
and protect company interests rather than community interests by concealing safety
information during auto promotions.
Computer Ethics
Ethics is a collection of moral rules that regulate a person's or a group's behavior. The
application of moral ideas to the usage of computers and the Internet is known as computer
ethics. Intellectual property, privacy policies, and internet etiquette, also known as "network
etiquette," are examples. Copying and redistributing digital content is simple with a
computer. It is, nonetheless, ethical to follow copyright guidelines. It is critical to understand
2

and follow the licensing agreement or SLA when utilizing the software. Piracy is defined as
the use of commercial software without paying for a license, and it is against computer
ethics.
Toyota's auto industry problems stem from a lack of moral and ethical obligations to loyal
customers. In fact, people sometimes run into ethical problems. Companies hope to act in a
way that upholds social values. According to the authors
The definition of ethics for ethics in business is, according to Treviño and Nelson (2004), the
set of principles, standards, and standards of behavior guiding a person or a group of
individuals. Ethics define appropriate behavior regulations because they prescribe behavior
constraints (van Blijswijk et al., 2004).Unauthorized access to computer systems, often
known as intrusion, is an unethical means of accessing computers. Computers and the
Internet are becoming more influential in society as technology advances. As a result, when
developing new technologies, computer ethics should be discussed. Artificial intelligence's
impact on existing jobs and human communication is a recent example. It is easier to ensure
that new technologies have a positive impact on society when IT ethics are discussed.
On the other hand, this article emphasizes the moral issue of automotive makers using the
three ethical criteria mentioned in this Discussion, such as obligations, moral ideas, and
consequences.
Steve Gorman from Thomson Reuters claimed that 40 consumers and companies filed legal
claims against Toyota against the world's largest international media news agency. The
accusations included financial losses, including lowered vehicle principles, derived from
Toyota car complaints (Gorman, S. 2010).A note from an international company noted that
in 2007, three years before safety features became standard, reliable options. Starting in
2002, Toyota has failed to resolve claims involving unexpected impulsive acceleration.
During this period, the new electronic throttle control system replaced Toyota's standard
equipment. According to Steve Gorman, Toyota insisted that the faulty vehicle was
accelerating uncontrollably due to a stuck gas pedal and accelerator pedal. Security recall
solves both of these problems. Gorman noted that many cases of accidental acceleration
are due to driver inaccuracy. Toyota Motor Corporation's ethical issues stem from the
failure to report Toyota Camry and Prius accelerator pedals.
As more and more models were developed at that time, the reduction of working hours and
the shortening of development cycles for new cars became a problem. As part of the
solution, using the computing power of the UNIVAC system, the project team began to
develop the system. A typical example is Toyota's Integrated Digital Control Method
(TINCA). It is a system for NC processing of stamping dies through a computer, which is
included in the so-called CAM system.
The first portion of the system, for processing Corolla (model KE30) body parts, was
designed in October 1969 and completed in the autumn of 1973. Many engineers from
many Toyota Group firms participated in the project team and worked together to build the
3

system in domains such as body design, mold design, CNC machining, and information
processing.
In order to save money and speed up development time, today's automakers use computer-
aided design software to design their vehicles in a virtual manner, rather than building
multiple prototypes. The physical tests are still running, but the computer can simulate
some tests overnight, otherwise, it may take weeks. Like most automakers, Toyota relies on
CATIA, a 3D program developed by France's Dassault Systems, to design its vehicles.
Netiquette
Respecting employee privacy offline is part of Toyota's Being a Good Netizen, Applying
Ethics Online, and Using Internet Etiquette. Citizens' offline interactions must be respected
in terms of information. Ensure that information policy are transparent. The company may
give users clear ownership and autonomy over what information is disclosed and what is not
by taking efforts to ensure that consumers can quickly and readily understand how the
company utilizes their information and protects them from damage. Consumer ties should
be strengthened.
Netiquette, short for network etiquette or network etiquette, is the principle of polite
communication in the network environment. Including the correct way to send emails,
online chats, etc. Like traditional etiquette, it provides behavioral rules for social occasions.
The purpose of online etiquette is to help establish and maintain a pleasant, comfortable,
and efficient online communication environment, and to avoid putting pressure on the user
system and creating conflicts between people.
Netiquette includes rules that provide guidelines for correct social interaction and online
technical performance. What constitutes good network etiquette is different in many
subcultures of the Internet. Of course, the problem of network etiquette will change with
time and technology.
Following are ten instances of netiquette norms to follow:
1. Avoid making inflammatory or offensive comments on the internet.
2. Respect others' privacy by not sharing personal information, images, or videos that they
do not want to be shared online.
3. Do not send a huge quantity of unwanted emails to others as spam.
4. Playing online games, regardless of winning or losing, show good sportsmanship.
5. Do not mislead people by repeatedly nagging or nagging in online forums or website
comments.
6. When posting or commenting on photographs or videos in internet forums, stay on topic
(such as YouTube or Facebook comments).
7. Do not disparage others or use derogatory language.
8. Don't reply to negative feedback with additional negative feedback. Instead, use positive
messages to interrupt the loop.

Conclusion
In short, Toyota is a great company and it must be respected. From a small Japanese
company that first invented the automatic loom, to a company that gradually surpassed the
imported auto industry - to today's leading automaker, Toyota has done a lot. They continue
to lead the development of automobile technology and different types of engines and
continue to lead the world into the technological age. However, behind Toyota's success is
its environmental responsibility.
The main goal of the research is to determine how organizations use enterprise resource
planning as an information system to increase productivity. Through the Toyota case study,
it is clear that synchronizing information, business intelligence, and eliminating redundancy
enable the company to achieve high productivity. Other secondary goals include
determining the factors required for ERP work; Toyota stated that you need to invest in
reliable software programs such as SAP, server, and workstation hardware. The problems
that ERP can solve include inventory challenges, procurement failures, forecasting and
assembly line problems. Toyota has also implemented its lean production strategy through
ERP. This makes the plant competitive and it has achieved great success. In this regard, it is
recommended that companies consider using social media platforms to reach global
customers without incurring additional costs. Using social media platforms such as Facebook
and Twitter can also help companies increase awareness of newly launched vehicles, which
can ultimately improve business performance.
