An Essay on Technical Change: Its Dimensions and Social and Strategic Context
提出了一个分析技术变革（尤其是新技术引入）组织现象的通用框架，将变量分为产出、工作流、组织结构、技能知识及社会商业背景等维度，并基于组织研究传统推导假设，旨在连接组织理论与技术变革研究。
A general framework of salient variables is put forward in this paper to be used in the analysis and explanation of the organizational phenomena around technical change, particularly the introduction of 'new technology'. Such variables are grouped into output, workflow, organization structure, skills and knowledge, and societal and business context factors. Their interrelationships are discussed on the basis of the organization research tradition and more recent findings. Hypotheses are derived which may be used to explain further findings, establish a better link between organizational theory and research on recent technical change, and benefit from synergy between organization, industrial sociology and business administration research.
