Description

Product Description This important book addresses the organizational and economic implications of the new technologies of information and communication. Jannis Kallinikos analyses the recent spectacular growth of information and the self-propelling processes through which technological information is increasingly generated out of the reshuffling and recombination of available and interoperable information sources. He argues that information is no longer simply a resource but a pervading element of socio-economic life that is crucially involved in the redefinition of a variety of organizational practices and modes of economic action. Academics and students in a variety of disciplines, including information studies, information systems, management and organization studies, sociology, social psychology and social policy will find much to interest them in this book. Review 'Kallinikos' forceful and elegantly written book draws on an impressively wide range of perspectives from information theory, social science and organization theory. It should be of interest to scholars seeking a comprehensive understanding of how technology is involved in the making of social and institutional forms. . . Kallinikos' rare combination of approaches to his subject - not only switching between or digging beneath various academic fields, but even when necessary placing himself in an integrative position above specific fields - should make this an important contribution. . .' -- Christian Maravelias, Scandinavian Journal of Management'In The Consequences of Information Kallinikos provides a detailed analysis of the variety of ways in which information gets involved in social and economic life and the consequences such an involvement has for people and organizations, the development and use of ICT. . . The Consequences of Information makes an important contribution to the understanding of contemporary use of ICT and its relation to escalating patterns of information growth. . . the book is an excellent resource for IS scholars in formulating innovative and relevant research questions, taking into consideration the complexities related to new ICT while building on sound social theories.'
