Taming Information Technology: Lessons from Studies of System Administrators
This book is an ethnography of system administrators
drawing its conclusions from observations of real-life episodes
and it is the first ethnography of computer system administrators. Beyond merely telling the stories of system administrators
it draws implications from present practice for future work
arguing for specific ways in which these IT workers can be better supported and managed. It highlights the need for human judgment and creativity in information technology management. Simply put
people are indispensable in monitoring
evaluating
understanding
and controlling complex systems.
