Organizations as Information Processing Systems.
Abstract
This Final Technical Report describes the three year research effort on Organizations as Information Processing Systems. The original proposal written in 1982 delineated four objectives for the research project. These included: (1) Develop and empirically evaluate a framework of the information processing behavior of managers; (2) Develop and empirically evaluate a framework of the role of information as a source of social influence for organizational leaders; (3) Develop and empirically evaluate a framework describing organizations as interpretation systems; and (4) Suggest policy and practice implications for the more effective management of information processing systems in and between organizations. The first three objectives tied directly to the three supprojects proposed as the major focus of the research: manager information processing behavior, information as social influence, and organizations as an interpretive system. The final objective was more global. In all three areas researched, suggestions about improving the management of information processing systems in and between organizations were to be made.
