From Control to Drift

The Dynamics of Corporate Information Infrastructures

Beschreibung

A revealing insight into the issues surrounding information infrastructure implementation in large, global corporations. Case study material from six different international corporations-AstraZeneca, IBM, Norsk Hydro, Roche, SKF, and Statoil-shows a complex picture of implementation, and one that cannot be interpreted using current management thinking. The authors suggest that the economics of standards and increasing returns be joined with the perspectives from the social studies of science and technology to provide the fundamentals for a fresh view of the management of IT in global corporations.
