Valueware also champions the evolution of a gentler mode of capitalism as just one of many hopes for a more caring and sustainable 21st century. After detailing the critical forces now driving the convergence of technology, humanity, and organization, Barnatt then balances a wide spectrum of value perspectives, including those of past and present management gurus, Internet pioneers, and Generation Xers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKnowledge-empowered individuals and organizations are already beginning to learn the value of global interdependence over independence. Cutting-edge technologies and new social structures may also soon empower more relationship-rich markets, which begin to mediate human affiliation via money but in a gentler capitalist structure. Barnatt doesn't claim to predict the world of tomorrow. However, by detailing alternative millennial realities from which key future-shapers may choose, it instead champions future gazing as future shaping.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHRISTOPHER BARNATT is an author, futurist, and lecturer in organizational behaviour, computers, and management at the University of Nottingham, UK. \u003ci\u003eValueware\u003c\/i\u003e concludes the Future Trilogy he commenced with \u003ci\u003eCyber Business\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eChallenging Reality\u003c\/i\u003e, and is his fifth text concerning technology, humanity, and organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.74 x 9.23 x 6.17 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44843357077606,"sku":"9780275967154","price":94.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/7ixgJ8TnRq9780275967154.webp?v=1772615119","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/valueware-technology-humanity-and-organization-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
