SOLUTION

One of the dimensions of the model that is particularly relevant for modern business is accountability and control. This dimension includes two sub-dimensions: (1) control of information technology and (2) control of technology’s effects. In the age of big data, companies have access to vast amounts of information, and the way they use that information has the potential to affect individuals and society at large. Therefore, companies need to ensure that they have effective mechanisms in place to control the use of information technology and its effects.
