Conclusion. 330 $aEthics and Human Behaviour in ICT Development discusses ethics in a professional context and encourages readers to self-assessment of their own behaviour. It provides thought-provoking accounts of the little-known early history of technological development in information and communication technology (ICT) and the automation industry in Poland, with a focus on Wroclaw. The book provides a framework for understanding the relationship between ethics and behaviour, and analyses critically ethical and behavioural issues in challenging workplaces and social contexts. It includes: case studies from around the world, especially Poland, which illustrate the relationships between human behaviour and ethics; biographies of successful Polish ICT and automation leading designers; analysis of case studies of human behaviour and ethics in challenging industrial development and other environments; and illustrative practical applications alongside the theory of human behaviour and ethics. The authors demonstrate the ingenuity of the early Polish designers, programmers and other specialists in overcoming the shortage of components caused by import embargoes to enable Poland to develop its own computer industry. An example of this is Elwro, formerly the largest manufacturer of computers in Poland. The discussion of its growth illustrates the potential of human creativity to overcome problems. The discussion of its fall highlights the importance of ethical approaches to technology transfer and the dangers of a colonialist mentality. The book is designed for engineers, computer scientists, researchers and professionals alike, as well as being of interest for those broadly concerned with ethics and human behaviour. 606 $aTelecommunication 606 $aDatabase management 606 $aBusiness ethics 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 606 $aControl engineering 606 $aRobotics 606 $aAutomation 606 $aCommunications Engineering, Networks 606 $aDatabase Management System 606 $aBusiness Ethics 606 $aScience and Technology Studies 606 $aControl, Robotics, Automation 615 0$aTelecommunication. 615 0$aDatabase management. 615 0$aBusiness ethics. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aControl engineering. 615 0$aRobotics. 615 0$aAutomation. 615 14$aCommunications Engineering, Networks. 615 24$aDatabase Management System. 615 24$aBusiness Ethics. 615 24$aScience and Technology Studies. 615 24$aControl, Robotics, Automation. 676 $a303.483309438 700 $aHersh$b Marion$01423717 701 $aLewoc$b Józef B$01423718 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996546835903316 996 $aEthics and Human Behaviour in ICT Development$93552087 997 $aUNISA
