The key message of the dissertation is that using digital communication technologies requires well-trained moral discernment to better understand unintended consequences as well as to better cope with them.:1. Introduction 2. Digital communication: a new challenge for moral discernment 3. Digital communication in and beyond organizations: unintended consequences of new freedom 4.
