The Computerization of WorkA Communication Perspective

<p>The computerization of the workplace confronts us with a paradox. While almost everyone agrees that the fusion of new information and communication technologies (I/CT) is radically transforming the way society works some individuals argue that the implementation of any single I/CT is disappointing. Studies report that these individual experiences in computerization often fail to measure up to the expectation. <b>The Computerization of Work</b> offers an explanation for the gap between the expectations and often less-than-satisfactory results. Written by renowned professionals in the field this volume explores the subject matter through the discussion of theory and field studies as well as insights from other research.</p><p>Students and researchers alike will appreciate this rare look into the world of technology and society. </p>
