Description
This work presents a critical survey of recent trends in the relationship of information technology and organizational change. Major sections regard applications, human organizations, the impact of new organizational forms on the management of information technology, as well as the use of information technology as a means to transform an organization into some newer form. A variety of viewpoints are considered including abstract theoretic essays, down-to-earth practitioner pragmatics, and those critical views that question the widely-declared benefits of newer technologically-enabled organizational forms. The foundations of the work are highly empirical and include a wide variety of cases to substantiate the theoretical suppositions.
