| Tiivistelmä: | There are three novel strategic challenges which large firms face under present competitive conditions: the sharply fluctuating demand, the failing to match competitors' innovations, and the failing to match competitors' unit costs. These challenges all heighten information processing demands. Many firms during the 1980s have tended to externalize transactions by contracting out to the market. To preserve adequate control and coordination over this system of transactions, several organizational forms are employed in connection with integrative managements. Information technology enables the strategic benefits of externalization with low level of accompanying risks. |
