| Abstract: | The purpose of this research is to examine the IT decision-making relationship with the emerging organizational computing (OC) environment permeated by spontaneous utilization of both application- and nonapplication-specific computing and communication technologies. Specifically , this study seeks to explore managers' perceptions of the emerging OC environment as a facilitator of their decision-making activities. A two-dimensional research framework is developed with the IT dimension connsisting of computing and communication, and the decision-making dimension differentiated between operational and managerial decisions. The major findings confirmed that managers recognize the value of general , nonapplication-specific information technologies in decision making. |
