"This book highlights the role that national culture plays in shaping the emergent relationship between IT and organizations. It also shows the mechanisms through which national culture influences IT use. Although a number of studies have investigated relationships between IT and organizations, relatively few studies have conducted international comparisons on the theme, and even fewer have focussed on national culture in their analytical framework."--Publisher description.
