Offering solutions to the challenges, issues, and opportunities facing information technology managers today, this book offers guidelines for and insights into upcoming and emerging information technologies as well as cutting-edge solutions. Topics covered include IT implementation, the role of attitude toward IT, culture and IT, and the impact of IT on health and privacy. Discussed is how people, just like computers, are main components of any information system; 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 that result in human behavior responses are addressed with a view toward developing better theories about people and IT.
