Computerized Integration and the Organization of Work in Enterprises.
Alsene, Eric
International Labour Review, v133 n5-6 p657-76 1994
Case studies were conducted of computer integration in two workplaces: an interdepartment interface in a hospital and a shared maintenance management system in a processing plant. These effects were found: interfacing tightens control by altering the division of labor and increasing supervision; and a shared database does not change the division of labor but profoundly changes task and function assignment.
