Proceedings from ICIS 2008 online
You can now read the papers from ICIS 2008 online. The best paper I mentioned in my last post can be found here. Some of you might be interested in the paper Emmanuelle Vaast and I presented, entitled "Bringing Change in Government Organizations: Evolution Towards Post-Bureaucracy with Web-Based IT Projects". We used an evolutionary perspective to explain how government organizations move toward a post-bureaucratic form of organization. Below is the abstract:
This paper examines the following question: How do government organizations become
more "post-bureaucratic" with web-based IT projects? It draws on evolutionary thinking
to conceptualize processes of change in government organizations as involving sequences
of variation, selection, and retention as well as to identify various sources of change:
internal ones (e.g. administrators), as well as external ones (e.g. technological
innovations and institutional pressures). The paper relates findings from four in-depth
qualitative case studies of web-based IT projects in different government organizations.
The interpretation of these findings helps expand the evolutionary conceptualization by
suggesting how different sources of change interact in the change process and variously
affect different stages of the evolution.
