How information technology changes the way work gets controlled, and what that means for organizations. This book presents an empirical study of how IT mediates work processes and reshapes power, knowledge, and routines in the workplace.
Through a detailed look at a consulting firm’s use of productivity tools and embedded methodologies, the work shows that technology can both enable and constrain action. It reveals an integrated information environment where existing forms of control merge, producing practical effects that are not always expected or straightforward to change.
Ideal for readers curious about organizational theory, information systems, and the real-world effects of deploying IT in professional services.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book studies the impact of deploying IT in organizations, examining two distinct forms of organizational controlâ"hierarchical bureaucratic forms and systemic disciplinary forms. The author presents a case study of a consulting firm, providing an in-depth look at the tools, training, and cultural norms that comprise each form. It traces how systemic disciplinary forms of control have evolved through the use of technology, resulting in an integrated, yet paradoxical control environment. The author shows that IT both increases control and introduces new forms of resistance and potential transformation in the workplace. The book provides a timely and insightful analysis of the interplay between technology and organizational structures, offering valuable lessons for managers and organizational theorists alike.
