Books in the Routledge Studies in Organization and Systems series

Whilst Information Systems has the potential to widen our view of the world, it often has the opposite effect by limiting our ability to interact, facilitating managerial and state surveillance or instituting strict hierarchies and personal control. This book offers an alternative and critical perspective on the subject.

This book provides fundamental notions of information and its consequences for information service success, business models and processes, and architecture and exploitation. These topics are essential for modern curricula of management, communication science and information systems, and for anyone in search of a foundational understanding of informing.
