WP026: Modeling Organizational Change in Response to Informational Technology
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This paper presents a conceptual framework for an agent-based computational model of organizational change in response to information technology. The framework emphasizes how meso-level features of an organization constrain micro-level adaptations to technology, and how micro-level responses reshape meso-level features. It is based on ideas of micro-level structuration in response to technology, and borrows the concept of access structures from the Garbage Can model for representation. The computational model potentially enables organizations to predict, through simulation, the impact of various information technologies on organizational behavior and to evaluate their effects on organizational performance.
