Mavericks in the Organization

How does investment in IT affect the organization's structure? How about interesting tidbits like this, "Firms with more PCs per employee had a more decentralized allocation of decision rights for several key technology decisions."

Or how about this juicy number? "Information use was positively correlated with increased revenue and project completion."

And this is particularly telling, "Asynchronous information seeking (such as email and database access) promoted multitasking, while synchronous information seeking (such as phone and face-to-face contact) showed a negative correlation." Now that's a statement I could discuss for quite a while.

It's a nice piece of research that you should read for yourself.
