Organizational learning and management information systems

Abstract The current debate around the implementation crisis of management information systems is re-examined in the light of a theory of organizational learning (the detection and correction of error). The analysis suggests that many of the recommendations to overcome the difficulties may be inadequate and, in some cases, counterproductive.
