Abstract
In this paper the chief argument is that for too long decisions and general thinking about information systems have. in the main, been narrowly economically and technologically focused, without adequate regard for the people factors in volved. By contrast, consideration is given here to some human issues and the broader organizational ones—particularly those of organization culture, power, communication and the change process—in an endeavour to present the case for more re search into these areas as vital contexts within which informa tion systems exist.
