| Tiivistelmä: | The significance of information and communication technology (I.C.T.) for the theory and practice of organizations is examined. The information dimension of I.C.T. gives it a distinctive character in contrast to other technologies which remains under-theorized. Arguments are presented that information is intimately linked with power-knowledge relations and the forms of subjectivity what reside therein. In theorizing the exercise of power and the constitution of subjectivity, three concepts - culture, control and competition - are suggested which provide additional insights for the study of the development and application of I.C.T.s in organizations. |
