Computerization in Developing Countries Model And Reality

Originally published in 1991 this book looks at the problems of applying Western computer programmes to the developing world arguing that the difficulties are as much cultural as technological. The author shows that the underlying models for computer applications are made up from interpretations of reality which are closely related to Western scientific technological and cultural development originating from the Renaissance. The book includes a case study of an Egyptian manufacturing company which reveals the actual problems encountered in the process of computerization. | Computerization in Developing Countries Model And Reality
