Thesis (Ed.D.)--Harvard University, 1994.

In this study I use a case study of the implementation and use of two computer systems in one organization to study organizational choice as practiced in relation to the use of computers for work. I examine the use of two computer applications for two organizational activities, financial management and communications in EDEN, a project-based educational research and development organization. The organization serves as an example of team-based organizations (TBOs), where teams are the primary unit of operation. These organizations contend with two fundamental organizational issues. The first issue addresses how to maintain a coherent whole in light of semi-autonomous work groups. The second organizational issue TBOs face is securing organizational long-term survival in light of short-term work. TBOs develop organizational design theories to handle these issues and through this process shape their organizational life.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In this study I use a case study of the implementation and use of two computer systems in one organization to study organizational choice as practiced in relation to the use of computers for work. I examine the use of two computer applications for two organizational activities, financial management and communications in EDEN, a project-based educational research and development organization. The organization serves as an example of team-based organizations (TBOs), where teams are the primary unit of operation. These organizations contend with two fundamental organizational issues. The first issue addresses how to maintain a coherent whole in light of semi-autonomous work groups. The second organizational issue TBOs face is securing organizational long-term survival in light of short-term work. TBOs develop organizational design theories to handle these issues and through this process shape their organizational life.
520 $a Computerization improved work and at the same time supported the use of EDEN's organizational design theories: castle building--the selective empowering of project groups and bureaucratic patterns--centralized control by management. Some of the implications were isolated and disempowered groups of employees from the rest of the organization, the creation of additional channels for exercising social control, and strengthening the disjunction between central management and project work.
520 $a The case study illustrates that the implicit nature of the organizational design strategies limited EDEN's inquiry and choice about the use of computers for work. Organizational choice, although possible, was not practiced due mainly to the organizational conditions of TBOs contending with both segmented organization and a disjunction between central management overseeing the organization and professionals' control of project work. An alternative approach, called work-based innovation, suggests capitalizing on team-based organizations' diverse work groups experimentation, as they adapt technology for work, for organization-wide innovation.
