Information management: taking account of the human element

Abstract

In what I have to say I have defined the human element as not including ergonomic considerations. I do this mainly because I know little about ergonomics, but also because there must be many people at this conference who know a lot more about it than I do. What I shall address myself to, is the possible social, including organisational, implications of the development of information technology — its psychological implications and its implications for implicit value choices concerning the sort of socio‐technical systems we set up around the new technology.
