Editorial Reviews

"Lilley offers an accessible theoretical analysis of the organizational impact of information technologies, employing the theoretical lenses of systems theory, social constructivism, and post-structuralism to examine the ways in which actors, organizations, and environments are represented through these technologies. . . The book will support information and technology courses at the advanced undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and will also be of interest to academics in the fields of management, information technology, sociology, and cultural studies."—Reference & Research Book News
