This book examines the value proposition of technology and its relationship with business innovation, social preferences, and its role as a mechanism of labor savings or revenue generation. In the same style as his first book, Redefining Financial Services, the author combines empirical knowledge with an historical approach revealing the explicit nature of technological advancement while analyzing the implicit impact on the process of business. The book presents the reader with a question: does society shape technology or is technology shaping society?

5.0 out of 5 stars
An eye opener,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thinking Beyond Technology: Creating New Value in Business (Hardcover)
As an IT professional this book made me revist how my firm applies technology to business problems and opportunities. DiVann'a look at our relationship and facination with technology over 1000 years revealed to me that most of our work as technologists has been pooring old wine into new bottles. It was an interesting text that made me think.
