Fourth meeting of the task force
Cork, April 6-7 2005
The task force met in Cork , Ireland, in April 2007 for a workshop where 12 papers were presented. The theme of this meeting was inspired by a paper recently published in MIS Quarterly on Mindful Adoption of technology (by Swanson and Ramiller, 2004) to encourage researchers to reflect on how to understand how firms really work, what makes them tick, how they make decisions. Such work is particularly useful when it is applied in the context of specific case studies of individual organisations, because the topic only becomes interesting when one manages to penetrate the intricacies of what happens behind the scenes in organisations. Research on how firms can self-analyse their processes and get a handle on their true strengths and weaknesses are also extremely interesting.
