For executives, managers and consultants involved in redesigning organizations and structures, this text presents conventional design variables developed by noted organizational design and strategy experts. It compares these against new IT design variables such as virtual components, electronic customer/supplier relationships, production automation, electronic work flows, technological matrixing, and more. Each chapter discusses one or more IT design variable and presents concrete examples of organizations that have used these variables to change their structure and the way they do business.
