The business side of BYOD

cultural and organizational impacts

About the Book

Bring Your Own Device: damned if you do, damned if you don't.

This short book is a discussion from a cultural and organizational perspective about the current and potential business impacts of enabling smartphones, tablets, computers, and any other device that goes under the label "Internet of Things" - IoT.

It has been prepared as a "case study" for a workshop on change management.

Focus: knowledge- and information-management beyond your corporate boundaries.
