• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Information technology has contributed significantly to economic growth; but its enormous impact on creating a green economy has been ignored. Recently, the term of Green IT has become a topic of constant debate and has been discussed extensively in both academic researches and practitioner reports. However, due to its newness, research on this issue has been limited. At a time when it is becoming more evident that Information Technology has an increasingly significant role to play in creating a green economy and enforcing sustainable development, this research stream assists in understanding the adoption and effective implementation of Green IT practices in organizations. This book is also seeking to provide a preliminary insight on the status of Green IT adoption as well as some of the underlying factors that influence it. Governments are seen as the most powerful propulsion for Green investments. However, there are many other variables including technological, environmental and organizational factors that can contribute to successful adoption and implementation of new Green initiatives.
