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 UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/hol051/2002072080.html ER -
