DOWNLOAD EBOOKEvery pioneer takes large risks, hoping that the new frontier he seeks will provide the benefits of independence and good fortune. Don Tapscott is such a pioneer in the area of office automation. He has been a true pioneer, having entered the field in its early days and taken the risk of working not in technol ogy, which was fashionable, but in the field of the problems of organizations, which was less fashionable, but in many ways more important. The utilization of computers for data processing, accounting, inventory, and other "bread and butter" applications is now well entrenched in our society and culture. The process of designing such systems tends to focus on the needs of the company and the constraints of the equipment, leading to efficient systems with little tolerance for the variety of people who must use or interface with them. Within the office automation area, these methods do not work nearly as well. The frequency and amount of human interaction in the office environment, and the wide variety of situations and reactions there in, demands a different design methodology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This report investigates the consequences of introducing an integrated computer system into an ongoing office environment. The research was conducted under the Office Communications Systems (OCS) program that was established by the Canadian federal government in 1980. This $12 millions project was a joint initiative of the Minister of Communications, the President of the Treasury Board, and the Minister of Regional and Industrial Expansion. The primary goal of the project was to provide an opportunity for Canadian computer companies to design, test and have the effects of their products evaluated within designated field-trial sites. To fulfill this mandate, developmental hardware and software products were introduced into five different federal government departments"--Executive summary.
