TL;DR: The principal aim of this paper is to uncover the socio-technical complexity of establishing an information infrastructure, a complexity which so far has been severely underestimated by those involved.

TL;DR: Approaching this topic from the point of view of the ontological predicates of cybernetic space appears to make it possible, as the paper suggests, to reveal the presence of a specific mode of “playfulness” in a computerized mode of action, one which is seen as radically transforming current views on organizational activities.

TL;DR: Simulation results indicated that learning in flatter (team) organizations is generally more accurate than in hierarchical organizations, and learning is also faster with majority teams than hierarchies, but slower with expert teams.

TL;DR: This study describes a study of students learning OO programming where the participants ranged in experience from a single semester of programming to over 10 years of professional programming, and identified five categories of learners who each took a different path to learning Oo programming, encountered different obstacles, and adopted different learning strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed three supervised artificial neural networks (general regression, backpropagation, and probabilistic) to predict the accounting method choice by oil and gas producing companies.

TL;DR: It is argued that the disparity is due to complex interactions between system design and organizational context that creates a disparity between intended and actual use of the system, requiring articulation work.

TL;DR: In this article, the creation and implementation of information systems that integrate organizational business, social, and cultural knowledge is discussed. But the authors focus on the technical aspects of business information systems and focus on technical matters.

TL;DR: This relationship is described in terms of three distinct “frameworks of computing”, historically specific ways of understanding, working with and developing computer systems, which govern the conduct of computing, in both basic R & D and in commercial and organizational development.

TL;DR: The applicability of qualitative and quantitative reasoning techniques to study the process of Organizational Learning is discussed and stochastic simulation experiment on an uncertainty-based cognitive map taken from the Indian automobile industry is conducted.
