Sinossi

"Making a World of Difference" stellt die aktuelle Diskussion um die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Computer in einen globalen Zusammenhang. Autor Geoff Walsham untersucht die Rolle von IS und IT in der modernen Gesellschaft und ihren Einfluß auf Menschen, Unternehmen, Volkswirtschaften, usw. Da dieses Umfeld sich rasant verändert, ist es wichtig, sich nicht zu stark auf aktuelle Technologien (z.B. Internet) und Konzepte (z.B. Wissensmanagement) zu konzentrieren, sondern sie vielmehr als eine Möglichkeit unter vielen anderen zu betrachten. Deshalb behandelt dieses Buch u.a. auch Entwicklungen in China Japan, Thailand und Indien.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Richly illustrated with vivid and detailed case studies, this book addresses many of the issues that are critical if information systems are to be an effective part of a global business environment.
* In Part One, the author focuses on theoretical views of the contemporary world, with a particular emphasis on the role of information and communication technologies. This part includes theories of globalization, and more micro-level theories on knowledge, the role of information tehcnology , improvisation in work practice, and power and politics.
* Part Two presents in-depth case material at different levels of analysis: personal and professional identity; the work of groups or teams; organizational connectivity and restructuring; and inter-organizational networking. It draws on theory from Part One for analytical purposes.
* Part Three has a similar goal to Part Two, but with a specific emphasis on non-Western cultures.
* Some overall conclusions are summarized in Part Four.
Making a World of Difference will be of specific interest to students on graduate courses in management information systems, computer science and management studies. It will also be of value to information systems practitioners and managers concerned with the development and use of IT.
