Abstract

Accountability is a key requirement as it concerns current enterprise information systems. In this context, no matter if an action is realized by a human or by a “machine”, it is always important to know who is responsible for what was done. This essentially relates to human authority. We argue that it is not always trivial identifying the human authority “behind” (complex) enterprise actions, especially when the actual authority is “blurred” by references to enterprise structures that may have supported a decision “on paper” but have not had the chance of actually opposing that decision, for example. The contribution of this paper concerns a proposal featuring the identification of human authority (mainly in an enterprise context) based on analyzing universal value categories (such as hierarchy and egalitarianism) that are easy to “check” (possibly by means of surveys).
