First published in 1998, revised in 2021, this volume develops and tests an information-processing model of organization, within the context of the accession of a new generation of a production technology. The model conceptualizes organizations as systems which accomplish their objectives through the processing of information. The book begins with the conceptual basis of the theory, developing the fundamental concepts of information, information processing, and technology. The accession of an automatic avionics tester during the 1970s and 1980s is the change in production technology used to test the theory. The theory is tested by mapping and analysing performance with a three-wave longitudinal field experiment and objective performance measures in the workflow of a very complex system, the U.S. Navy’s avionics maintenance organization. The information processing capacity of the system is shown to be the primary determinant of system performance, with or without the use of information technology. Additional support for the theory comes from newer test and information technologies deployed in the 1980s and 1990s. Implications of this theory for current generations of test technology are provided in the final chapters, along with further development of the theory and its general application to many types of organizations.

How does Information Processes and Technology integrate with other business initiatives? How will you measure your Information Processes and Technology effectiveness? In what ways are Information Processes and Technology vendors and us interacting to ensure safe and effective use? How do we maintain Information Processes and Technology's Integrity? Who are the Information Processes and Technology improvement team members, including Management Leads and Coaches? Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a challenge or meet an objective is the most valuable role... In EVERY group, company, organization and department. Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?' This Self-Assessment empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Information Processes and Technology investments work better. This Information Processes and Technology All-Inclusive Self-Assessment enables You to be that person. All the tools you need to an in-depth Information Processes and Technology Self-Assessment. Featuring new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Information Processes and Technology improvements can be made. In using the questions you will be better able to: - diagnose Information Processes and Technology projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices - implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals - integrate recent advances in Information Processes and Technology and process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines Using a Self-Assessment tool known as the Information Processes and Technology Scorecard, you will develop a clear picture of which Information Processes and Technology areas need attention. Your purchase includes access details to the Information Processes and Technology self-assessment dashboard download which gives you your dynamically prioritized projects-ready tool and shows your organization exactly what to do next. Your exclusive instant access details can be found in your book.
