Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Social Determinants of Information System Use: A Network-Anayltic Approach
The use of an information system will be determined by many factors, such as the usability and usefulness of the system, the tasks facing the user, the training and background of the user, and the social group of which the user is a part. Too often, many of these factors have been ignored, and the resulting research suffers. Only by understanding all these factors can we understand how and when information systems (is) are used. The factors affecting IS use are important to consider when designing is, applying IS for competitive advantage, or predicting the impacts of is. Impacts research especially has suffered from ignoring these factors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
