Cover of Technology and Organizations
Why are technologies that improve the effectiveness of an organization not fully utilized - or not utilized at all? What decisions do senior staff and management face when they adopt and implement new technologies? How does the implementation of a new technology that increases worker responsibility affect organizational hierachy? Such questions are difficult to answer when the nature of technology itself is undergoing constant revision. The recent introduction of the new class of technology, which allows for continuous redesign programming, is having a profound effect on the technology-organization relationship. This new book focuses on technology as a way of understanding organizational behaviour - from the individual's cognitive and emotional response to technology to a society's cultural predilection for adopting technological advances. A unique group of leading thinkers and researchers present multi-level perspectives on the technology-organization relationship: individual, work group, institutional and cross-cultural perspectives.
They examine a range of diverse topics, including how technology is reshaping the workplace, why some societies excel in adopting new technology and why some poorer technologies survive.
