IT personnel and corporate identification

Commerce of today is characterized by an increase in corporation size and complexity. The computer has clearly become the backbone of today's business, simplifying much of that complexity as it performs all types of routine as well as special duties. Because of its potential for functional variety, the computer has been entrusted with data ranging from low level tasks such as company payroll to highly privileged strategic information. Although the computer has become a reliable servant for corporate use, it has also become the agent for a corporate identification problem, particularly with IT (Information Technology) personnel which can jeopardize a system's security. Corporate identification problems exist when employees identify more with their own skill set than with the company they work for.
