Future Crises: William James, John Dewey, Edward Singer, C West Churchman.The recent data controversy with Facebook highlights the tech industry as a whole was utterly unprepared for the backlash it faced as a result of its business model of selling user data to third parties. Despite the predominant role that technology plays in all of our lives, the controversy also revealed that many tech companies are reactive, rather than proactive, in addressing crises. This book examines society's failure to manage technology and its resulting negative consequences. Mitroff argues that the "technological mindset" is responsible for society's unbridled obsession with technology and unless confronted, will cause one tech crisis after another. This trans-disciplinary text, edgy in its approach, will appeal to academics, students, and practitioners through its discussion of the modern technological crisis.Business ethicsBusiness information servicesStrategic planningLeadershipTechnological innovationsBusiness EthicsIT in BusinessBusiness Strategy and LeadershipInnovation and Technology ManagementBusiness ethics.Business information services.Strategic planning.Leadership.Technological innovations.Business Ethics.IT in Business.Business Strategy and Leadership.Innovation and Technology Management.658.4056Mitroff Ian Iauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut49358BOOK9910337796003321Technology Run Amok2077958UNINA
