Book

Mobile computer usability : an organizational personality perspective

Wiredu, Gamel O., author, S²rensen, Carsten, writer of supplementary textual content

Overview

The central thesis of this book is that to understand and enhance the usability of mobile computers, we must understand the union and continuity of the user's sociological (organizational) and psychological (personal) circumstances. Union and continuity constitute relationships that are not well understood because previous researchers have not approached mobile usability from these premises to explain them. The book seeks to explain the relationship between the user's sociological and psychological circumstances into a unified epistemology of mobile usability. The book's contributions are important because the nature of mobile computers and contemporary work practices induces the increasing inclusion of the user's cognitive needs of existence (psychological frame) into the human-computer dyad that determines mobile usability. These union and continuity relationships are important for those who design, implement and manage mobile information systems in organisations and society. The contributions are also timely because mobile computing is increasingly becoming a predominant aspect of contemporary computing in organisations and society. The book's epistemology of mobile usability also suggests practical guidelines for the design, management, and implementation of mobile information systems in organisations and society.
