Technology Everywhere

A Campus Agenda for Educating and Managing Workers in the Digital Age

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Information technology (IT) has transformed human resource management across our society, and its influence on higher education has been profound. Technology Everywhere addresses the dual role played by colleges and universities that must recruit, hire, and train knowledge worker professionals and educate IT learners to manage the ever-increasing flow of information both on campus and off. Each chapter in this much-needed volume addresses a critical phase of IT human resource management, identifies key issues, and offers practical advice based on actual experiences that can help colleges and universities develop a plan of action to respond effectively to the IT workforce challenge. "It is increasingly clear that the weakest link in technology lies not in hardware or software but rather in the workforce. Hawkins, Rudy, and Wallace have put together a superb collection of essays that explain ways to meet this challenge, despite the breakneck pace of technology." --Martin Ringle, chief technology officer, Reed College "This book is a valuable tool for IT professionals in understanding the current and future pressures of finding staff to provide the services required, as well as for campus leaders in building an articulated vision of the role each institution can play in addressing these needs at a national level." --Margaret F. Plympton, vice president for finance and administration, Lehigh University "At long last someone closes in on the critical crossroads between the human resource offices charged with finding, recruiting, employing, and retaining IT workers on the one hand and, on the other, the colleges and universities seeking to attract, enroll, prepare, and graduate IT learners. For too long these two worlds seemed to live in parallel but distant universes without communicating very effectively with one another. The chapters in this solid work give hope that convergence might yet be had-indeed, might well be near to hand. It's about time." --Richard A. Skinner, president and CEO, Georgia GLOBE, and chair, 1997 Task Force on Improving the Responsiveness Between Industry and Higher Education, Information Technology Association of America

Autorenporträt

Stephen Hawkins loves the coincidence that one of his heroes, the late great Stephen Hawking, shared a similar name and interests. It's only fitting that Stephen Hawking was known as the Master of Time and Author Stephen Hawkins is a master of Time and Space which is exactly what drumming is all about. Stephen Hawkins strongly believes that all drummers should become their own master of time and space. His motto is "Master the art of leaving space then the things you play in time become great".Stephen was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK and has lived in the UK all of his life. By age 20 was working alongside some of the biggest names in British show business-the exact people he aspired to work for as a professional drummer. People such as Paul Daniels, Bobby Davro, Les Dennis, The Three Degrees, Susan Maughan just to name a few. He hopes to teach and inspire a whole new generation of passionate drummers.
