Abstract

New ITs are having a widespread impact on information flow within and between firms, on management practices and, on the basic processes and the structural configurations of the organization. This paper investigates a specific information system – Local Area Network – and its impact on the structural configuration of the firm. An initial discussion about a proposed framework for analysis is followed by an examination of the implementation of a local area network in a software development organization.
