Summary "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." "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."--Jacket
