Abstract:
Many factors contribute to the way people view and use information, including task requirements, organizational settings, and personality characteristics. Today it is generally accepted that people are an integral element of an information system. System development methodologies include various kinds of people--managers, analysts, programmers, support staff--in the development process. IT could be wasted if various aspects of human behavior were not seriously accommodated. This book addresses pertinent issues by including the most recent research in the discipline, which can be utilized by businesses and organizations when implementing information systems into their policies, procedures and daily tasks.
