Résumé

This text is designed to help managers who have to deal with a complex environment, and who are often presented with "ready-made" solutions as to how to best organize their firm, to best use information technology.

Information technology and organizational transformation presents a simple and attractive framework within which managers can analyse their firm's environment and characteristics, and reflect on the most appropriate way - for them - to "put the puzzle together". It provides a clearly structured treatment of organizational issues, strategy, and people issues and how they are impacted by technology.

The book draws from the latest research in industrial organization, strategy, information technology, organizational theory, and leadership. It examines the individual puzzle pieces that have to be put together -strategy, structure, information technology, and leadership. It presents the cases of three firms, Oticon, Li & Fung and Progressive Insurance, that were equally successful in putting these pieces together, while choosing pieces with dramatically different forms and adjusting them in radically different ways.

This text provides the manager and student with an integrated conceptual but pragmatic framework to analyse their situation. Courses examining the role of Information Technology in emerging organizational forms will find a well-grounded conceptual framework, illustrated with in-depth case studies.
