| Abstract: | Horizontal mechanisms are structures overlays (such as roles and groups) and non-structural devices (such as physical collocation) that are designed to facilitate cross-unit collaboration. The objective of this study is to increase our cumulative knowledge about what top-down mechanisms are being used to promote the coordination of IS activities across corporate/division boundaries. Propositions about how mechanism image differs under centralized versus federal IS organization contexts are developed. |
