- W3122231022 abstract "Explores the evolution of computing and information systems in small firms. Specifically, addresses how computing has developed in small firms, the factors that influence these developments, and whether or not models developed to describe large-firm computing are relevant to small firms. Since little previous research has focused on computer growth in small firms, the use of Nolan's (1979) growth stages model (that considered computing developments in large firms) was considered. However, because Nolan's model was criticized, only Nolan's growth processes were used, as a focus for exploratory interviews designed to give a broader picture of computing developments in small firms. Detailed interviews--which included questions regarding company history, major products, market factors, company performance, owner's background, and computer use and impacts--were conducted with six small manufacturing firms in the engineering industry. Findings show that the motivators for encouraging further information systems growth in small firms reflect a wide range of internal, external, and individual factors. They include a desire to improve: information processing, planning and control, and work. In addition, other motivators include competitive pressure, consultant support, and managerial enthusiasm. Factors that discourage information technology growth in small firms include: a lack of information systems knowledge, skills shortage, influence of higher levels, a lack of managerial time, inappropriate economic climate, excessive cost, unstructured systems, and poor software support. Little support was found for most of the growth factors derived from large firms, other than growth in number and type of applications. (SFL)" @default.
