"This book is quite interesting in presenting the role of ICTs in shaping social traits organizational cyber infrastructure, and services. . The book will certainly attract practitioners, tool developers, academics, and researchers because of its discourse on the social dimensions of embedding ICTs, identifying policy design gaps and ways to address these gaps." (Harekrishna Misra, Computing Reviews, November, 2015)
