Download or read book Representing Organization written by Simon Lilley and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-06-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides an accessible theoretical analysis of the organizational impact of information technologies. It seeks to examine and comment upon the myriad ways in which actors, organizations, and environments are represented through these technologies. Contemporary threats to organizational form and stability are considered alongside the potential that information technologies offer to both exacerbate and overcome them. It examines, amongst others, issues surrounding the material and symbolic aspects of information systems; risk and prediction; systems implementation and systems success; knowledge management practices; accountability and other management practices; computerized modelling; and the virtual organization. To this end it deploys a number of different theoretical lenses including: · systems theory · social constructivism · labour process theory · post-structuralism · actor network theory These offer complementary and contrasting insights into the computerization of managerial work. In order to ensure that the book is both relevant and approachable to students from a range of backgrounds these theories are applied to real examples of the development and implementation of information systems. This combination fosters practical knowledge that is theoretically informed. The book thus aims to bridge the gap between the abstractions of current theories of organization and the grounded material that forms the bulk of Information Systems literature. It thus offers a novel way into the ongoing debates surrounding technological change and the perennial problems of managerial control. It has been designed to support theoretically informed Information and Technology courses at the advanced undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and will also be of interest to academics in the fields of Management, Information Technology, Sociological, and Cultural studies.

Download or read book Knowledge Management in an Information Age Army written by Darrell D. Fountain and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widespread application of advanced information technologies has dramatically affected United States fighting forces. Senior leaders at all levels that came of age as principals before the technological revolution of the 90's have struggled to take full advantage of modern information technology. Information technology exploitation strategies have been further complicated by the now omnipresent Joint and Combined nature of our operations. Key leaders need to more fully embrace the comprehensive strategy already available to take full advantage of this explosion in capability. This work examines the Army's current knowledge management strategy and suggests that a consistent construct is required at the CORPS and Division level to fully exploit current information technology capabilities in a joint and combined environment. This construct is required to move our fighting forces beyond the simplistic incorporation of the latest information technology hardware and software to a more deliberate knowledge management strategy: the logical extension of the information age technology and network-centric operations to effective Knowledge Management. This organizational construct should be disciplined enough to resist the latest hardware/software solution of the day and agile enough to readily adopt innovative information technology solutions addressing critical organizational information sharing and knowledge management challenges.

Download or read book Knowledge Management and Communication in the Information Age written by Rafiqul Islam and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information age came with the promise of transparency greater than anything witnessed heretofore by humanity. Of course, transparency is the essence of foresight and knowledge. The hope was for a greater accountability that would follow increased transparency, compelling policy makers to depend on knowledge and foresight rather than disinformation and hidden agendas. Recent events of the new millennium indicate that the increase has been in opacity and disinformation. The information age, often dubbed as the knowledge era, has become the antithesis of knowledge, however; even its most ardent proponents admit that. Despite globalization, the information age has failed to generate knowledge-based decision-making tools.
