Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Firms are investing considerable resources to create large information infrastructures able to fulfil their varied information-processing and communication needs. The more the drive towards globalization, the more such infrastructures become crucial. The 'wiring' of the corporation should be done in a way that is aligned with its corporate strategy -- it is global and generates value.This book presents six in-depth case studies of largecorporations -- AstraZeneca, IBM, Norsk Hydro, Roche, SKF, and Statoil -- which offer a rich picture of the main issues involved in information infrastructure implementation and management. Far from being alinear process, the use of the information infrastructure is in fact an open-ended process, in many cases out of control. Current management models and consulting advice do not seem to be able to cope with such a business landscape. This book provides the reader with interpretations and theories tha can foster a different understanding and approach. Thus, the economics of standards, complexity theory, and actor-network theory are harnessed to penetrate the issues emergingfrom the case studies and to generate a new conception of the information infrastructure that is relevant both for researchers and practitioners. A revealing insight into the issues surrounding information infrastructure implementation in large, global corporations. Case study material from six different international corporations shows a complex picture of implementation, and one that cannot be interpreted using current management thinking. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780199246632
