dc.description.abstractPurpose: This study focuses on making Internet of Things (IoT) implementations in the e-logistics industry private, secure, and safe. This is achieved through meeting the following objectives: creating an operational definition of ethics, identifying how ethics can be incorporated into the design of IoT, identifying whether ethics can be employed to ensure privacy, security, and safety, and documenting recommendations on how ethics by design can be used to improve the privacy, safety, and security of IoT e-logistics devices. Methodology/Design: This study utilises the theoretical framework detailed by Van Aken describing the main pillars of system design, namely object design, process design, and realization design. This framework guided the data collection and data analysis of the study by providing a context to inform further categorisation of the data for better insights. The data collection method used was a questionnaire to a single case study of 15 respondents using the philosophy of interpretivism to identify and understand the embarkment of knowledge during a study. Research Limitations: This study collected and used data from a single case study in South Africa – an IoT device manufacturer and software development organization focused on retail distribution IoT devices. This data collection from the case study limited the scope of the study to a specific sample that did not cater to the full spectrum of Logistics devices and their private, secure, and safe implementation.en_US
