Examples of factors  leading these changes are: rapidly decreasing costs of computer  hardware, government de-regulation, accelerating global  competitiveness, an increasing management awareness, and the knowledge  of how to employ Information Technology successfully. These have all  led to the increase of IT's effects on existing markets, and, in the  process, are creating entirely new markets. This book explores a  variety of advances in IT by a group of researchers who are at the  cutting edge of this research. Moreover, the book examines these  innovative developments in terms of the Information Technology field  and its effect on modern business. It is becoming increasingly  apparent that IT is critical to success in today's competitive  marketplace. \u003cbr\u003e  As a result, this book examines a host of emerging effects at work in  these developments and seeks to make sense out of these  counter-acting, sometimes multiplicative, effects which can become  obstacles for managers who wish to develop competitive applications of  IT. These effects and the development of IT are grouped into four  general categories in the book: Future Markets, Inter-Organizational  Systems, Focused Applications, and Future Strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792380207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5485-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 214\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312285700236,"sku":"9780792380207","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792380207.jpg?v=1771523445","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792380207","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
