Abstract

Examines several contextual factors relating to IT and organizational structure in private and public organizations. They include organization size; finance and accounting for IT; and management roles and responsibilities. A Questionnaire survey was sent to a random sample of public and private sector organizations ranging from local authorities, NHS trusts, banks, building societies and manufacturing firms. preliminary findings suggests that organizational restructuring is often implemented through ad hoc managerial strategies triggered by financial imparatives. Whilst IT plays a part in the restructuring process, complex environmental and internal influences on organization structure and IT make over generalizations highly problematic. This is irrespective of the sector in which the organization operates
