| Abstract: | An earlier study (Lucas, 1984), while finding support for the Hickson
(1971) framework for organizational power, found that department
managers in three major industrial firms rated their information
services department as the least critical of five departments, for
success in their industry. This study polled 37 plant managers from the
same firms. Plant managers, like their department manager counterparts,
considered the information services department least critical for
success. Centralization of decision making was found to be positively
related to information services department power. Finally, implications
of the study on distributed versus centralized information processing
are discussed. |
