Book Synopsis The New SocioTech by : Elayne Coakes
Book excerpt: Sociotechnical principles are now widely used around the world in both information systems (IS) and organizational design. First established in the 1940s to examine the effect of mechanized mass-production systems on workers, they are now an important tool for ensuring that people and technology work together optimally within an organization. This book examines the use of sociotechnical principles and practice in IS and organizational design. Modern sociotechnical approaches are analyzed and future directions for the field are presented.
