{"product_id":"information-technology-policy-richard-coopey-9780199241057","title":"Information Technology Policy: An International History","description":"This book brings together a series of country-based studies to examine, in depth, the nature and extent of IT policies as they have evolved from a complex historical interaction of politics, technology, institutions, and social and cultural factors. In doing so many key questions are critically examined. Where can we find successful examples of IT policy? Who has shaped policy? Who did governments turn to for advice in framing policy? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeveral chapters outline the impact of military influence on IT. What is the precise nature of this influence on IT development? How closely were industry leaders linked to government programs and to what extent were these programs, particularly those aimed at the generation of 'national champions', misconceived through undue special pleading? How effective were government personnel and politicians in assessing the merits of programs predicated on technological trajectories extrapolated from increasingly complex and specialized information? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will be of interest to academics and graduate students of Management Studies, History, Economics, and Technology Studies, and Government and Corporate policy makers engaged with technology policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Coopey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199241058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199241057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Richard Coopey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419021197567,"sku":"9780199241057","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c80ff50b-5a55-42b4-a8fd-a1b174458177.jpg?v=1761508959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/information-technology-policy-richard-coopey-9780199241057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
