"Electronic Value Exchange" examines in detail the
transformation of the VISA electronic payment system from a
collection of non-integrated, localized, paper-based bank credit
card programs into the cooperative, global, electronic value
exchange network it is today. Topics and features: provides a
history of the VISA system from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s;
presents a historical narrative based on research gathered from
personal documents and interviews with key actors; investigates,
for the first time, both the technological and social
infrastructures necessary for the VISA system to operate; supplies
a detailed case study, highlighting the mutual shaping of
technology and social relations, and the influence that earlier
information processing practices have on the way firms adopt
computers and telecommunications; examines how "gateways" in
transactional networks can reinforce or undermine established
social boundaries, and reviews the establishment of trust in new
payment devices."
