Tension between IT staff and business users –Users want short term fulfillment –IT want standardization, mastery of technology Balance is easy to get wrong See table 8.1

5 Four examples in text From centralized, IT-driven innovation to decentralized, user-driven innovation User-driven innovation over IT department protests From decentralized, user-driven innovation to centralized It management From decentralized, user-driven Innovation to unexpected centralized innovation

6 Drivers toward user Dominance Pent-up user demand Need for staff flexibility Growth in IT services industry Users’ desire to control own destiny Fit with organization

7 Drivers toward centralized IT structure Staff professionalism Standard setting and ensuring system maintainability Envisioning possibilities and determining feasibility Corporate Data Management Cost estimation and analysis

13 Stages Theory of IT Adoption and Organizational Learning Framework for understanding IT assimilation in business organizations Proposed in 1973 by Richard Nolan, professor at Harvard Modified over time Based on idea of an S-shaped learning curve

14 Four stages of organizational learning Initiation Contagion Control Integration

15 Multiple growth processes Applications Portfolio Resources Management User Awareness

16 Three eras in Organizational Learning New technologies have led to different eras in technology adoption Data processing era Micro era (from late 1970s) Network era (from early 1990s)

17 Different key players and leaders in each era IBM leader in DP era Stayed leader into micro era by introducing IBM personal computer Apple Macintosh computer had more sophisticated operating system, making user interface easier Competition drove innovation

18 Discontinuous technology advances Other industries –Turbojet in airplanes –Radial tires adopted by Michelin Technology –Shift from mainframe to microcomputers –Shift to networked infrastructure

19 Four areas of impact Automating Transaction Processing Informating Middle of Organization Imbedding IT in products and services Internal and external networking
