{"product_id":"mobilizing-the-information-society","title":"Mobilizing the Information Society","description":"\u003cp\u003eMobilizing the Information Society comprehensively and critically examines the interaction between social, regulatory, and market developments underlying the growing use of new technologies such as the personal computer and the Internet. Based upon empirical research by an international team, it offers insights needed to understand public policy, corporate strategy, and individual choices taken in response to the deluge of new technological\n\u003cbr\u003eopportunities.A principal theme of Mobilizing the Information Society is that changes are governed by public decisions that establish the institutional framework in which the private sector operates. The\n\u003cbr\u003equality and value of the information society for the citizen is not the inevitable consequence of market and technological forces. Policy choices, however, that fail to take market and technical influences into account will prove ineffective. The authors lay the foundation for improved theories of the process of change, more appropriate strategies to achieve desired aims, and more effective policies for mitigating the effects of dislocation and exclusion from the information\n\u003cbr\u003esociety.Mobilizing the Information Society offers unique insights into the social, economic, and political forces that are structuring the pathway to the information society, and their consequences\n\u003cbr\u003efor businesses and citizens in their everyday lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43934973264110,"sku":"9780198295570","price":95.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198295570.jpg?v=1706233601","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/mobilizing-the-information-society","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
