28. 28. xxviii Foreword Technology and the ability to innovate are increasingly becoming critical requirements in our workplace. The benefits of information technology extend far beyond productivity as it is usually understood and measured. Not only can the application of IT provide better ratios of value created to effort expended in established processes for producing goods and delivering services, but it can also reframe and redirect the expenditure of human effort, generating unanticipated payoffs of exceptionally high value. The emergence of tools based on the new information and communication technologies (ICT) is also affecting businesses working methods. As a consequence, numerous changes are taking place within the organizational context.
