    HANDBOOK OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN ORGANIZATIONS AND ELECTRONIC MARKETS

    edited by Angel J Salazar (Manchester Metropolitan University Business School, UK) & Steve
    Sawyer (Pennsylvania State University, USA)

    The rapid growth in the adoption and diffusion of information technologies has important
    implications for practitioners, academics and policy-makers. The widespread use of
    information technologies is challenging traditional business models and reshaping
    socio-economic paradigms, as well as promoting new social relations, jobs and working
    structures.

    By synthesizing prior research and providing a strong foundation for future research, the
    aim of this book is to contribute to our practical and conceptual understanding of the
    technological, behavioral, organizational, social and economic issues and their
    inter-relationship in organizations and electronic markets.

    The book covers five broad aspects: technological innovations and trends; organizational
    change and knowledge management; strategic transformation; and social and economic
    transformation. Contributions include works by scholars from recognized international
    communities of academics, practitioners and policy-makers.
