Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of a case study concerning the introduction of Information Technology in a newspaper firm, in the light of context. The complexity of information streams inside and outside of the firm gives a complex aspect to the change introduced in this firm. We identify several types of contexts at different granularities with relationships based on the transformation from the contextual knowledge into the proceduralized context. A result of this study is that making context explicit could improve in a consequential way the interaction among the actors of the firm.>

Ce papier présente l’analyse d'une étude de cas concernant l’introduction d'un système d'information chez un fabriquant de journaux, cette analyse étant menée sous l’angle de la notion de contexte. La complexité des flux d'information qui traversent la firme a rendu plus difficile les changements au sein de la firme. Nous avons identifié plusieurs types de contexte à des granularités différentes et entretenant des relations basées sur la transformation de connaissances contextuelles en contextes procéduralisés. Cette etude montre que l’explicitation du contexte dans le processus des échanges d'informations peut améliorer très fortement la qualité des interactions entre les acteurs de la firme.
