- W1487333668 abstract "This research project investigated the relationships between IS staff and other organisational actors in four organisations. Using a network-based approach borrowed from Sociology, the key actors, groups and institutional mechanisms that organisations relied upon when deploying and using IT were investigated and represented in a series of diagrams. Specific techniques to visualise and represent how organisations operate and how information circulates within them were developed. This helped the researcher analyse the key components in the interaction between IS and the rest of the organisation and make suggestions for a better contribution of IS staff to the management of organisations. 1. CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE NETWORK APPROACH Network Analysis, a body of research that concentrates on the networks of firms, has been found to have many applications in areas where researchers struggle to understand the complex workings of organisations (Nohria, 1992). It acknowledges that individuals are characterised just as much by their relationships with one another as by their specific attributes (Knoke and Kuklinski, 1982). It is the study of these relationships that has been labelled Network Analysis. Roethlisberger et al. (1939) used an early form of network analysis in the 30’s in their famous studies of the Western Electrics Hawthorne plant to emphasise the importance of the webs of informal relations in organisations. Subsequently, network researchers have focused on the development of essentially quantitative methods and the use of standard statistical analysis to investigate the design and structure of networks. Wasserman et al. (1994) have regretted that this overly quantitative approach has limited research perspectives and they have called for the development of new concepts and tools to broaden the scope of Network Analysis. A number of areas of research have greatly benefited from the use of the network perspective (Nohria, 1992). Its strength is that it allows a close examination of the structure and patterns of relationships that establish amongst organisational actors. It also enables researchers to collect large amounts of data regarding managers, their linkages to each other, the usage of the information exchanged and the managerial activities served by these exchanges. Thus, network analysis supports the development of comprehensive models of organisations that capture the essence of their networks and analyse some of their quantitative and qualitative" @default.
