Decentralization of is in Developing Countries: Power to the People?
通过三个大型去中心化信息系统案例（两个发展中国家、一个英国），分析成败原因，讨论对员工赋权和管理控制的影响，并总结未来在发展中国家开发此类系统的建议。
This paper describes three case studies of large-scale decentralized computer-based information systems, two from developing countries and one from the UK. Some reasons for their relative success and failure are analysed, and impacts on the empowerment of staff and management control are discussed. These issues are related to a simple categorization of decentralized information systems dependent on their primary purpose and the approach taken to their design and implementation. Some conclusions are drawn on future desirable approaches to the development of large-scale decentralized information systems in a developing country context, and on the possible impacts of such systems for the empowerment of different social groups.
