Download or read book Open Standards and the Digital Age written by Andrew L. Russell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did openness become a foundational value for the networks of the twenty-first century? Open Standards and the Digital Age answers this question through an interdisciplinary history of information networks that pays close attention to the politics of standardization. For much of the twentieth century, information networks such as the monopoly Bell System and the American military's Arpanet were closed systems subject to centralized control. In the 1970s and 1980s however, engineers in the United States and Europe experimented with design strategies to create new digital networks. In the process, they embraced discourses of 'openness' to describe their ideological commitments to entrepreneurship, technological innovation, and participatory democracy. The rhetoric of openness has flourished - for example, in movements for open government, open source software, and open access publishing - but such rhetoric also obscures the ways the Internet and other 'open' systems still depend heavily on hierarchical forms of control.
Download or read book Organizations written by Stefan Kühl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How - as members, customers, voters or patients - do we deal with organizations: public administrations; universities and schools; hospitals; prisons; political parties; or the military? The systems theory developed by sociologist Niklas Luhmann is among the twentieth century's seminal scientific achievements, commensurate perhaps only with Einstein's theory of relativity, Wittgenstein's philosophy of language, or Freud's analysis of the unconscious. While systems theory is not easily accessible, the subject of organizations offers an opportunity to gain insight into the fecundity of this approach. This book is the first in which Luhmann's organizational theory and an introduction to systems theory have been presented in such brief and succinct form and will be readily grasped by a new audience. The author of Organizations argues that, in future, the elaborate conception that systems theory has put forward will be the standard that other theoretical approaches to explaining organizations will have to meet.
