Technological Turf Wars: A Case Study of the Computer Antivirus Industry
by Jessica JohnstonInTechnological Turf Wars, Jessica Johnston analyzes the tensions and political dilemmas that coexist in the interrelationship among science, technology and society. Illustrating how computer security is as concerned with social relationships as it is with technology, Johnston provides an illuminating ethnography that considers corporate culture and the workplace environment of the antivirus industry. Using a qualitative, interdisciplinary approach, which combines organizational and security studies with critical and social analysis of science and technology, Johnston questions the motivations, contradictions and negotiations of antivirus professionals. She examines the tensions between the service ethics and profit motives-does the industry release viruses to generate demand for antivirus software?-and considers the dynamics within companies by looking at facets such as gender bias and power politics. Technological Turf Warsis an informed, enlightened and entertaining view of how the production of computer security technology is fraught with social issues.

Technologieinduzierte Entwicklung neuer Wertversprechen im Software-intensive Business
by Felix SchönhofenDie Digitalisierung der meisten Branchen spiegelt sich in einem wachsenden Anteil der Software an der Gesamtwertschöpfung wider. Unternehmen eröffnen sich dadurch neue Möglichkeiten für technologische Innovationen. Gleichzeitig stehen sie aber vor der ständigen Herausforderung, diese Innovationen in Produkte zu überführen, die für den Kunden wertstiftend sind. Dieser Problemstellung widmeten sich bereits eine Reihe an Methoden zur Produkt- und Geschäftsmodellinnovation, die Überführung der hier gewonnenen Erkenntnisse in die konkrete Produktgestaltung bleibt jedoch eine Herausforderung.Genau hier setzt diese Arbeit an, indem sie die methodische Vorgehensweise „Value Proposition Deployment“ vorschlägt, mit der Unternehmen auf Basis technologischer Innovationen neue Wertversprechen entwickeln können. Hierzu verbindet das Value Proposition Deployment Erkenntnisse des Innovationsmanagements mit Methoden der konstruktiven Qualitätssicherung und stellt somit eine Brücke zwischen Innovations- und Qualitätsmanagement dar. Die auf Basis von 15 praxisrelevanten Gestaltungsanforderungen entwickelte Methode wird detailliert erläutert und anhand praxisnaher Fallbeispiele beschrieben.
Technologies and African Societies in Pandemic Times: Using Technology to Survive and Thrive During the Covid-19 Era
by Saikou Diallo Julien Atchoua Jean-Jacques Maomra BoguiIn February 2020, the Coronavirus pandemic became a worldwide health emergency, and in April of that year, the ITU and the WHO created a joint declaration to show their commitment to using ICTs to overcome the pandemic. Technologies and African Societies in Pandemic Times explores the impact of Covid-19 on African societies in North and West Africa through the lens of technology and social media. The authors of this book highlight how everyday people dealt with the pandemic from its onset, through the process of the development of the vaccine and to its eventual dissemination. This book tells stories of survival, of coping and, eventually, of economically thriving. The authors also describe how, in this extremely challenging moment for humanity, people used music, art and social media to reinvent the community, to share joy and pain and to try to remain connected.
