In this digital age, many of us interact with technology on a daily basis-while shopping at stores, using smartphones, and driving in our cars. But beyond personal use, technology is playing a critical role in business, and more organizations than ever are expanding information technology in the workplace.
Does staying ahead of the technological curve have to mean dealing with an inaccessible "black box" and relying on countless vendors and consultants to implement new programs? According to A Philosophy for Information Technology , the answer is decidedly "no." As a business owner, manager, or CEO, you have the best knowledge of your organization and its specific needs, and it is in your power to ask questions, understand, and reap the benefits of taking charge of the information technology you need in your workplace.
In very practical terms, this helpful guide provides advice for organizations and businesses of all sizes by offering both philosophical and technical perspectives-empowering individuals to take technology into their own hands, as Michael Hammer did with business processes in Beyond Reengineering .
