The Palgrave Handbook of Breakthrough Technologies in Contemporary Organisations

Marketing Text:

This handbook traverses the broad spectrum of ICT management, engaging readers to consider not only the beneficial transformations triggered by these technologies but also the organisational challenges they present. From the disruption brought about by machine learning to the vast opportunities unleashed by the evolution of big data analytics to the revolution of financial technology (FinTech), this handbook offers a thorough and comprehensive journey through the landscape of ICT. The focus is not solely on the breakthrough technologies themselves, but the intricate patterns of their evolution, adoption, management, and the subsequent ripples they create in the organisational fabric. The handbook challenges current views, provokes new insights, and inspires a futuristic view of managing ICT in the ever-evolving business landscape.
