Task conceptions and work arrangements. [TR 47]
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
The authors present a theoretical analysis of relations between technology and formal organizational structures. After critically evaluating other approaches, they propose a finer-grained analysis to examine relations between particular technologies (rather than technology in general) and particular work arrangements (rather than the structure of the whole organization). They discuss some methodological consequences that would follow from such a change, including developing different measurement techniques.
