Creative Technological Change: The Shaping of Technology and Organisations

Creative Technological Change thoroughly examines the theoretical and conceptual basis of our understanding of technology and the nature of the relationship between technological change and its organisational outcomes. By drawing together diverse and prominent literature on technological and organisational transformation, together with a detailed survey of new 'virtual' technologies, this book serves to illustrate the contrast between both modern and emergent post-modern images of technology, and distinct conceptualisations of the interaction between technology and organisations. This approach ultimately offers the possibility of developing new insights, lessons and creative responses to the organisational challenges posed by technological change in contemporary society. This book will be of interest to those studying in the fields of management and technology studies, organisational theory and change, and the sociology of technology.
