Achieving Purposeful Change in IS

Abstract

How can IS be decentralized and In control? This is one of the many paradoxes the typical IS organization faces pertaining to the management of people. This article considers eight specific and daunting examples of IS paradoxes. Each is a potential roadblock to success, yet each offers an opportunity for IS managers and points the way for IS to make effective and significant change. Additional commentary on managing information technology change is provided in the sidebar by Robert A. Zawacki and Carol A. Norman.
