Produktbeschreibung
This groundbreaking work:
employs a well-known and widely accepted body of theory-Henry Mintzberg's organizational configurations-as a frame of reference throughout, explores possible transformations of his original five configurations, and proposes two new ones - discusses the basic human limitations in organization-building, the use of pre-computer technology, the nature of the resulting organizations, and what we can learn from this when searching for the possible contributions of IT - analyses the strengths and weaknesses of information technology, what it contributes over and above previous technology, and explains why many of its most touted properties are really among its weakest - provides in-depth understanding of the interplay between IT and organization structure and of why opportunities vary among different types of organizations - avoids general prescriptions to afford the real understanding necessary to stake out the most advantageous path into the future for your organization.
