[ID#] 41 [Author(s)] Jos� C�rdoba [Abstract] In the realm of information systems (IS) planning and definition, different methods and models have been developed to help practitioners dealing with ethical issues. It is commonly assumed that conflicts which arise in relation to ethics can be identified and solved by practitioners, e.g. there is an ethical stance which they will adopt over the others. In this paper I present some ideas of Michel Foucault�s work on power and ethics which can inform our current understanding of IS planning. These ideas make it explicit in IS planning practice the existence of different discourses about what is �right� or �good� to do which are in tension with each other and are deployed to individuals via power relations. This poses a challenge to existing codes of ethics in the practice of information systems. [Title]
