A valuable reference for all those involved with e-business,
By Nando Aidos "Fernando Cruz" (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Issues of Human Computer Interaction (Hardcover)
"Lest there be any misunderstanding, this is not just another book about designing Graphical User Interfaces.
Issues of Human Computer Interaction covers the broad reach of human involvement with computerised Information Systems and includes not only the technological and structural factors but also addresses the social, political and cultural issues of the day. This series of essays pulls together the many threads associated with the design, implementation and maintenance of contemporary IT installations but focuses mainly on the human issues associated with change, as people adapt to cope with the demands of knowledge-based, learning organisations. As such, the collection is a valuable reference for all those involved with e-business and e-commerce, highlighting as it does the multi-disciplinary aspects of successful designing for people, whether they work alone, in small teams or in large organisational groups."
