Book excerpt: Recent years have seen an increasing number of research contributions recognizing the importance of human and social aspects in information systems development. However, a lack of knowledge and expertise for dealing with them adequately still exists and this neglect continues to be one of the principal causes of information systems failure.This volume aims to help redress the balance and to place information systems and information systems development into the larger organizational and political context. Contributions have been sourced not only from information system specialists, but also from those involved in reference disciplines including management, sociology, pyschology, computer science, anthropology and philosophy. It is hoped this diversity of input consolidates the book's scope and will stimulate further practical advancements in this field in the future.
