Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Toward a More Precise Concept of Information Technology
The concept of Information Technology is central to the Information Systems discipline. The diverse capabilities of this technology and its pace of evolution are at the core of the US management problem. In view of this centrality, it is surprising that we do not have a definition or characterization of information technology in terms that allow us to compare and contrast systems and generalize results across studies. In the absence of a well-developed mis perspective, computer science tends to fill the gap by succinctly imposing its own language and definitions, which often prove inadequate for mis research, especially when organizational or behavioral issues are of importance. In other words, we have not been able to create an adequate language around this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
