Changing Role, Changing World

Abstract: Abstract The marriage of information with digital computers has spawned profound effects on the way that business is conducted and in the nature of work itself. Technological advances and innovations make computing power increasingly cheap and flexible and ever more–pervasive in the workplace and everyday life. As a consequence information technology (IT) has become ingrained in almost every aspect of work and business activity. This continual proliferation has created an underlying force of continual change within organisations first to adapt to and consequently to exploit the opportunities presented by IT. Organisations and individuals are compelled to change the way they work and are challenged on the way they think about their work.
