An Economic Study of the Information Technology Revolution (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an economic exploration of the revolution sparked by the rise of information technology. The author uses the framework of three distinct phases to analyze the development, significance, and future direction of this transformation. Beginning in the mid-20th century, phase one witnessed the growth of the information sector as an increasing proportion of economic activity shifted from production to information management. Phase two, initiated in the 1960s, involved the introduction of information technology, leading to a substantial decline in the cost of information processing and storage. The book illuminates the factors driving these cost reductions, highlighting the impact of economies of scale in manufacturing and the unique characteristics of information as a commodity. As the book transitions to phase three, it explores the merging of automated office functions and physical production systems, which fosters greater integration and networking within and between firms. This convergence has profound implications for business strategy and economic growth, challenging conventional notions of economic activity and heralding a new era in which information technology assumes a central role. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243143931_0
