Editorial Reviews

Information and business scholars look at information system from the perspective of the people involved rather than the technology or the organization. Among the end-user issues they consider are bottom-up management and system design, system and training design for end-user error, and evaluating the effectiveness of web sites. They also explore socio-technical and critical systems, discussing information systems as wicked problems, the metaphorical implications of data warehousing, and other topics. Annotation c.
