1.     Ethical Responsibility

Market Reactions:

Data Privacy:

·       Challenge: Since the management of big data has become complicated, there are many risks to data security. Companies should make sure that they have enough precautionary measures to prevent such situations from occurring and protect consumers' data.

·       Real-World Example: The data breach at Target was in 2013 when the identity of more than 40 million customers' credit card details were stolen. The breach has therefore left a question mark as to the efficiency of risk management measures in data protection.
