[ID#] 52 [Author(s)] Vladimir Diatlov [Abstract] This work is not about virtual organisations, but about traditional organisations undertaking IT-enabled coordination. Modernist research into interdependence and unit grouping and interpretivist developments for structural enactment and selective IT use are synthesised into theoretical discussion in format recommended by Zmud (1998). Organisational studies are focused on task interdependence, but analysis of actual practices reveals that authority-based coordination is likely to be replaced with need-based collaboration and IT-driven communication phenomena. Fragmentation of today�s organisations is managed with information and time sharing, rules and controls � coordination means that are most easily implementable with IT and associated with explication, formalisation and action tracing. How such bureaucratic outcomes will be reconciled with the milieu of collaboration and weak ties will shape organisational transformation. [Title]
