It Came from Something Awful: How a Toxic Troll Army Accidentally Memed Donald Trump into Office
by Dale BeranAn insider's history of the website at the end of the world, which burst into politics and memed Donald Trump into the White House.The internet has transformed the ways we think and act, and by consequence, our politics. The most impactful recent political movements on the far left and right started with massive online collectives of teenagers. Strangely, both movements began on the same website: an anime imageboard called 4chan.org. It Came from Something Awful is the fascinating and bizarre story of 4chan and its profound effect on youth counterculture.Dale Beran has observed the website's shifting activities and interests since the beginning. 4chan is a microcosm of the internet itself—simultaneously at the vanguard of contemporary culture, politics, comedy and language, and a new low for all of the above. It was the original meme machine, mostly frequented by socially awkward and disenfranchised young men in search of a place to be alone together.During the recession of the late 2000’s, the memes became political. 4chan was the online hub of a leftist hacker collective known as Anonymous and a prominent supporter of the Occupy Wall Street movement. But within a few short years, the site’s ideology spun on its axis; it became the birthplace and breeding ground of the alt-right. In It Came from Something Awful, Beran uses his insider’s knowledge and natural storytelling ability to chronicle 4chan's strange journey from creating rage-comics to inciting riots to—according to some—memeing Donald Trump into the White House.

IT-Controlling: Von der IT-Kosten- und Leistungsverrechnung zum Smart-Controlling
by Andreas GadatschIT-Controlling ist als Instrument zur Steuerung der Informationstechnik etabliert. Das Berufsbild des IT-Controllers bzw. der IT-Controllerin hat sich über längere Zeit nur moderat verändert. Es wurde vor allem mit IT-Budgetierung, IT-Portfoliomanagement, IT-Kostenplanung, -Verrechnung und -kontrolle in Verbindung gebracht. Durch die Digitalisierung ist jedoch Bewegung in Ziele, Inhalte und Methoden gekommen. Neue Themen wie Steuerung der Digitalstrategie, Cloud-Controlling, Data Science u. a. sind in der Diskussion. Das Aufgabenprofil wandelt sich weg von der reinen IT-Kostenanalyse, hin zum Management der Digitalisierungsstrategie mit einem Fokus auf strategisches IT-Portfoliomanagement. Einige Stimmen sprechen bereits vom „Smart-Controlling“ oder „Digital-Controlling“. Das Buch stellt ein IT-Controlling-Konzept für das Digitale Zeitalter vor und erläutert die relevanten Methoden in praxisnaher Form.
IT Controlling: From IT cost and activity allocation to smart controlling
by Andreas GadatschIT controlling is established as a tool for controlling information technology. The job description of the IT controller has changed only moderately over a long period of time. It was mainly associated with IT budgeting, IT portfolio management, IT cost planning, accounting and controlling. However, digitalization has brought movement in goals, contents and methods. New topics such as digital strategy management, cloud controlling, data science, etc. are being discussed. The task profile is changing away from pure IT cost analysis to the management of the digitization strategy with a focus on strategic IT portfolio management. Some voices are already talking about "smart controlling" or "digital controlling". This book presents an IT controlling concept for the digital age and explains the relevant methods in a practical way.

IT Development in Korea: A Broadband Nirvana? (Routledge Advances in Korean Studies)
by Kwang-Suk LeeThis book investigates the contextual factors that led to Korean society becoming ‘broadband heaven’ — the most wired nation in the world — by scrutinizing the historical contexts surrounding the Korean Information Infrastructure (KII) project (1995–2005), which aimed to establish a nationwide high-speed backbone network, as well as its later evolution, which involved redesigning the public infrastructure. The book details the hidden mechanisms and the real elements of building the ‘broadband heaven’: the global constraints conditioning its telecom policies, the dense state–capital linkages, and the bureaucratic desire for social control. It draws on the state-in-society approach to analyze the deformations caused by the symbiosis between the state and big business in implementing the rosy vision of the broadband network. This book provides insights into how to formulate future telecom policies along much more democratically participatory lines while restraining the overwhelming power of the telecom oligopolies and conglomerates. It stands alone as a comprehensive study of the recent East Asian model of IT development, written specifically to examine Korea’s socio-historical mechanisms for promoting physical speed and broadband mobility. This book will be important reading to anyone interested in Korean Studies, Information Technology and I.T. Development.

IT Disaster Response
by Greg D. MooreLearn how to develop solutions to handle disasters both large and small. Real-world scenarios illustrate the importance of disaster response (DR) planning.IT Disaster Response takes a different approach to IT disaster response plans. Rather than focusing on details such as what hardware you should buy or what software you need to have in place, the book focuses on the management of a disaster and various management and communication tools you can use before and during a disaster.This book examines disasters in general—a compilation of lessons the author learned over the course of years working in IT, reviewing plane crashes, and his experiences as a cave rescuer and cave rescue instructor. Although at first it may seem that none of these are really related, the truth is they all have elements in common. In each case, the unexpected has happened. Just as not all plane crashes are deadly, not all IT mishaps have terrible consequences. With the proper training and approach, many problems can either be avoided in the first place or better handled if they do arise.The book contains practical guidance on:How to think about a disaster both before it happens and while it’s happeningHow to apply management skills used in other fields during disastersHow to get everyone on board when it comes to planning for and handling disastersHow to better deal with smaller, more manageable—and more frequently occurring—disastersWhat you’ll learn Discover the difference between a DR solution and a DR planDefine a disaster — it’s not always of the scale of a fire burning down the building.See when to actually implement your DR plan Who This Book Is ForIT professionals in charge of developing their company’s disaster recovery plan who also need to raise issues to the required C-level people to make sure they have a viable plan.

by Volker LoppIn Zeiten der Digitalisierung, in denen große Datenmengen schnell und effizient verarbeitet werden müssen, steht das IT-Management oft vor einer großen Herausforderung. Um die Kosten gering und effizient zu halten, empfiehlt es sich, bei den Basics anzusetzen. Viele Unternehmen unterschätzen immer noch das Potential eines professionellen und standardisierten IT-Einkaufs. Jedes Unternehmen kann davon enorm profitieren, ganz gleich, ob sie nur im Einzelfall ein größeres Projekt strukturierter angehen wollen oder aber umfangreiche oder ungewöhnliche viele Ausschreibungen zu bewältigen haben. Ein grundsätzliches Überprüfen der bisherigen Verfahren ist immer dann ratsam, wenn die Prozesse verbessert oder die Beschaffungsstrategie überarbeitet werden sollen, wenn die externen Kosten gesenkt werden müssen oder aber ein Unternehmen die Qualität seiner IT-Beratungen und damit das Firmenimage verbessern möchte.Dieses Buch für den IT-Einkauf geht detailliert auf die speziellen Anforderungen für die Beschaffung von Hardware, Software, Dienstleistungen und Cloud-Services ein. Der Autor fasst die wichtigsten Gründe, aus denen ein IT-Einkauf benötigt wird, kompakt zusammen und zeigt, wie sich der IT-Markt aus Sicht des Einkäufers gestaltet. Neben einem ausführlichen Überblick über die Zusammenarbeit mit der IT-Abteilung und der besonderen Bedeutung des Lieferantenmanagements bei den großen Abhängigkeiten in der Informationstechnologie, erläutert der Autor die Wichtigkeit der Stammdaten und wie man ihre Qualität erhöhen kann. Ein Exkurs über das Vertrags- und Lizenzmanagement rundet dieses kompakte Buch ab.Damit ist es der ideale Ratgeber für Einkaufsleiter, IT-Leiter, IT-Einkäufer und die Konzernrevision, da es vom Hard- und Software-Einkauf, über das Mangement von Verträgen, Lizenzen und Lieferanten bis hin zu den eigentliche IT-Ausschreibungen alle wesentlichen Themengebiete des strategischen Einkaufs abdeckt.
