Inside the IMF is the first book to reveal the inside workings of the International Monetary Fund, an increasingly high profile organization. The text studies the culture of organizations, and uses sociological methods to understand the technology which underpins office and commercial life. Inside the IMF advises how to improve work processes and computer systems by exploring systems which use search and retrieval applications, hypertext documents, and shared database applications like Lotus Notes.
