complex environment, and who are often presented with "ready-made"
solutions as to how to best organize their firm, to best use
information technology. The book presents a simple and attractive
framework within which managers can analyze their firm's
environment and characteristics, and reflect on the most
appropriate way - for them - to "put the puzzle together." It
provides the manager and student with an integrated conceptual but
pragmatic framework to analyze their situation. Courses examining
the role of Information Technology in emerging organizational forms
will find a well-grounded conceptual framework, illustrated with
in-depth case studies. The book draws from the latest research in
industrial organization, strategy, information technology,
organizational theory, and leadership. It examines the individual
puzzle pieces that have to be put together - strategy, structure,
information technology, and leadership, and present the cases of
three firms that were equally successful in putting these pieces
together, while choosing pieces with dramatically different forms
and adjusting them in radically different ways.The three in-depth
cases included in the book are international:Oticon is a Danish
firm with close to 1500 employees and is a world leader in the
manufacture of hearing aids. Li & Fung is another, fist
established in Canton and is an international trading
company.Progressive Insurance which is the third largest insurance
