The Control Revolution

The Control Revolution by James Beniger is a groundbreaking study of the transformation of
modern society through the growth of information technology and its impact on how organizations operate. This book explores the concept of the Control Revolution, which refers to the shift from decentralized, ad hoc decision-making processes to a centralized, data-driven approach to management.

Through this book, Beniger provides insights into the key characteristics of the Control Revolution and its impact on organizations, society, and the economy. This book offers a compelling and thought-provoking examination of the changing nature of controling modern society.
