Description & Coverage
Description:

With the alarming rate of information technology changes over the past two decades, it is not unexpected that there is an evolution of the human side of IT that has forced many organizations to rethink their strategies in dealing with the human side of IT. People, just like computers, are main components of any information systems. And just as successful organizations must be willing to upgrade their equipment and facilities, they must also be alert to changing their viewpoints on various aspects of human behavior. New and emerging technologies result in human behavior responses which must be addressed with a view toward developing better theories about people and IT.

IT Solutions Series: Humanizing IT: Advice from Experts brings out a variety of views expressed by practitioners from corporate and public settings, who offer their experiences in dealing with the human byproduct of IT. (This book is a release under the IT Solution Series.)
