Excerpt from Beyond the Globalization of Information Technology: The Life of an Organization and the Role of Information Technology
This paper examines the role of information technology in the globalization process of an information system in a major international bank. We started with a general assumption that we need to review critically the commonly-held assumption that information technology always solves rather than defines problems, and that it produces or leads to new issues rather than revealing old ones.
We formulated our specific research question as follows: What are the differences between the intended role and the actual role of information technology in our case-study organization where globalization is set as a primary strategy? To answer this question, we need to trace and explore the decision-making process of the bank and the changes in the information system which are related to the globalization process.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dynamic relationship between information technology and organizational evolution using a detailed case study of a global bank's information system implementation. It challenges conventional theories in information systems that advocate for efficient top-down management and static change processes. Instead, the author argues that information technology development and implementation are often adaptive processes that unfold iteratively, revealing and intensifying preexisting organizational issues. Through this case study, the book sheds light on the role of information technology as a facilitator for organizational learning, enabling the discovery and comparison of different perspectives within an organization. The author's findings contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of globalization in the information technology industry and offer insights into how organizations can leverage information technology to improve their effectiveness by fostering a culture of organizational learning.
