“…Ultimately, legislators and staffers negotiated a satisfying solution, agreeing to collect performance measures that partially reflect each group's values and interests, but the clash directly influenced information management in that the resulting information parcels were heavily infused with new value content. Specifically, many service-providing agencies found themselves maintaining new data that served the interests of potential employers while deemphasizing questions about whether clients have been rehabilitated or have the skills required to survive (Hagedorn-Rasmussen & Vogelius, 2003). This clash of values and interests reverberated throughout the information management system.…”

This qualitative-inductive study examines the diffusion of information technologies across service providers that contract to provide public services for a state human service agency. The researchers were struck by extensive data that illustrated salient "ruptures," inconsistencies, and contradictions in the information systems that stand in stark contrast to the touted characteristics of the ostensible systems. The analysis draws attention to the extensive political symbolism attached to the actual information systems and to contradictory institutional logics that different participants impose on the collecting and valuing of various parcels of information. The researchers provide a preliminary theory about the isomorphic diffusion of technologies into and across the nonprofit sector and argue that these institutional dynamics imply a structuration process at a level that is much more macro institutional than the structuration of information technology artifacts that has been emphasized by recent scholars who write in the adaptive structuration perspective.

This paper analyses Business Process Re-engineering (BPR)implementation in 20 European firms. In contrast with the radical postulates of the early orthodox literature, the findings reveal that BPR was used in a preventive way, with implementation time lengths directly related to the scope of the organisational changes attempted and generating moderately positive results according to corporate performance indicators, with relatively low social cost.
