Abstract

Changes in organization structures brought by information technology (IT), information systems (IS), end-user computing (EUC), and information centers (ICs) are discussed and ways are proposed in which EUC and ICs can be valuable in providing effective strategic linkages among and within strategic groups that form within organizations. In this regard, conditions are described under which EUC and ICs can alleviate difficulties of task interdependence and strengthen strategic linking mechanisms. Proposals for further exploration and research are also provided
