Question

Information Technology:

Will Aps replace textbooks? Using the models discussed in class, 1) construct 5 pro and 5 con arguments. 2) Based on your arguments, take a position on the question. Provide your justification.

Note: In the case you make, be sure to discuss class models – Rich/Lean, Diffusion of Innovation, Use Diffusion, Sense-Making/Information Politics; you should use contingency statements that will predict the future success or failure (revenue generation and profitability). These are “if/then” statements: for example, “If these things occur, then the textbook’s future is bleak.” “If these things occur, then textbook’s future is bright.” You will also need to include a description of what types of information you would need to enable you to determine the technology’s future.
