Editorial Reviews

Psychologists Coovert (U. of South Florida) and Thompson (East Carolina U.) introduce the concept to students and business professionals. They focus on general trends in computer support, the characteristics and technology requirements of workers engaged in different levels of cooperation, the current and future directions, and the implications for human resource management. They do not assume a deep knowledge of computers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
