Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat) abstract
The note addresses two issues. First assessing the qualities of information systems and semi-autonomous groups requires a theory or model of how to assess. Second, three levels of assessment - a theoretical, a methodological and a practical level - can be distinguished.

Office Automation, Work and Skill
1985
Ingår i: [Host publication title missing]. - 0 444 87864 5 ; , s. 15-21
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat) abstract
The paper briefly explores the issues of what does office automation mean. Furthermore, it discusses whether office workers are information or knowledge workers. Three stages of office automation - data processing, facilitate existing office procedures, elimination of some intermediary functions and introduction of office technology into managerial, professional and technical jobs - are identified. Finally changes to skills in office work are emphasized.

On a Contingency Framework of Computerized Information Systems
1980
Ingår i: [Host publication title missing]. - 0 444 86036 3 ; , s. 83-92
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat) abstract
In this paper a conceptual model of the environment of computerized information systems is developed. The purpose of the model is to describe computerized information systems in relation to contextual factors of the organization. It is proposed that the characteristics of a computerized information system can be classified first in terms of data base, reports or processing, and second in terms of time orientation or complexity.

Socio-technical Design of Computer-Assisted Work: A discussion of the ETHICS and Tavistock approaches
1989
Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems. - 0905-0167. ; 1, s. 43-71
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat) abstract
In the paper the major sources of influence on the socio-technical perspective are identified and two socio-technical approaches are compared, namely the Tavistock approach and the ETHICS method developed by Mumford. The Tavistock approach has provided crucial contributions at the work system level, particularly principles for socio-technical design and models for job design (how to design jobs as well as criteria for jobs design). The ETHICS method aims to apply socio-technical thinking to the design of computer assisted work. ETHICS draws heavily on the Tavistock approach. In addition, the framework for job satisfaction is influecned by the Parsonian pattern variables. A series of detailed models of ETHICS has been put forward. In the early detailed versions of ETHICS participation was not considered. The method has, however, become increasingly participative. Finally, there are important differences in how the Tavistock approach and the ETHICS method conceptualizes the social and the technical parts of a socio-technical system. Also they differ in terms of integrating the social and technical parts into a socio-technical system.

Women, Work and Computerization. Opportunities and disadvantages
1985
Ingår i: [Host publication title missing]. - 0444878645
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat) abstract
This book deals with the introduction of new technology into women's work - the impact it is making the problems it generates. The emphasis is placedon the exploraiton of women's perspectives on computerization in the office and in manufacturing. Other topics dealt with include: -an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses in women's participation in systems design and in educaton: - an examination of the concept of skills; - a comprehensive introduction to the current status of remote work. Of particular interest in this volume is. therefore, the focussing of attention on women in the area of computers and new technology, covering aspects which are only rarely addressed in Computer Science literature.
