Compare The Computer And The Clerk by Enid Mumford, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Originally published in 1967 and the result of extensive interviews and case studies, this book examines the implications of technical change. Although focussed on the early introduction of computers the kinds of problems discussed in this book are found in technical change more widely and the book therefore continues to have enduring relevance. The book is divided into three parts - an attitude survey of the administrative staff in departments affected by the introduction of computers, a study of the mechanisms of change and a second survey and re-examination of departmental organisation and work flow. | The Computer And The Clerk by Enid Mumford, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
