Role of Information Technology in ManagingOrganizational Change and Organizational Interdependence (Paper)
This article sets forth the application of open systems theory for generating propositions regarding the management of organizational change and organizational interdependence
by application of IT. The commonly preferred approaches - goal theory, population ecology, systems resource theory and transaction costs theory - are inadequate in providing a
wholistic perspective of the organizational issues. The article argues that the survival and growth of organizationsin an in creasingly turbulent environment would depend upon effective utilization of information technology for aligning the organizational structure with environmental preferences
and for creating symbiotic interorganizationalstructures.
