Information Technology And Organisational Change
Abstract
First published in 1988. Information Technology is a prowerful force for organisational change, but its implementation can cause major difficulties and is often obstructed as people do not know how to cope with it. Written from 18 years of practical experience, this book is designed to help managers, users and technical specialists appreciate the human and organisational implications of information technology, and provide practical guidance on managing these issues which are crucial to the successful exploitation of the technology. This is not a book to teach people about information technology; rather it is about what to use it for and how to harness its potential.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
