Management Information Systems, Communications, and Departmental Power: An Integrative Model
回顾相关理论与实证研究，构建了一个理论框架，将管理信息系统的使用与部门权力的决定因素（包括跨部门沟通）正向联系起来，并引入部门任务重要性作为中介变量。
After a review of related theoretical and empirical research, I develop a theoretical framework that positively relates the use of management information systems to determinants of departmental power, including interdepartmental communications. The determinants of power are adapted from the theory of strategic contingencies [Hickson, Hinings, Lee, Schneck, & Pennings, 1971] and this theory is modified by the introduction of the importance of departmental tasks as a mediating variable in the relationship between power and its determinants.
