225. Know your major defect. Every talent is balanced by a fault, and if you give in to it, it will govern you like a tyrant. You can begin to overthrow it by paying heed to it: begin to conquer it by identifying it. Pay it the same attention as those who reproach you for it. To master yourself, you must reflect upon yourself. Once this imperfection has surrendered, all others will follow. --- Gracian
Managing information technology requires an understanding of how new technologies are introduced, spread, and ultimately impact the processes and structures within the organization. This week's reading and assignments focus on the impact of computer-based technology on organizations.
