As a collection of ideas and methodologies, systems thinking has
made an impact in organizations and in particular in the
information systems field. However, this main emphasis on
organizations limits the scope of systems thinking and practice.
There is a need first to use systems thinking in addressing
societal problems, and second to enable people involved in
developing the information society to reflect on the impacts of
systems and technologies in society as a whole. Thus, there are
opportunities to review the scope and potential of systems thinking
and practice to deal with information society-related issues.
Systems Practice in the Information Society provides students of
information systems as well as practicing Inofrmation Systems
managers with concepts and strategies to enable them to understand
and use systems thinking methodologies and address challenges posed
by the development of information-based societies. This book brings
experiences, ideas, and applications of systemic thinking in
designing and evaluating socio-technological initiatives. Using a
number of cultural contexts, this book explores how organizations,
including governments, can enable better access to information and
communication technologies and improve the quality of life of
individuals.
