Abstract: The speed of innovation, adoption, and transformation of technologies by their users will continue to accelerate and retail might now be facing a sea of change in customer expectation and behavior with far-reaching consequences for the entire industry. Information technology will have broad social impact, businesses, governments, and other institutions must move beyond the straightforward practice of optimizing existing practices. All of these organizations must innovate, in more domains, at deeper levels. Such processes as education, death and dying, and career management are ripe for reconceptualization and reinvention. That need for innovation is also reflected in the realities of the workplace, wherever it might be located. To generate the required number of new jobs and to address the negative outcomes of past, innovation needs to be the human mandate, rather than a deterministic technological outcome, of the information age. This chapter further explains the implications and consequences of information, technology, and innovation.
