This research and teaching program involves the investigation of the relationships between information technology (IT) investments and organizational practices and the implications of these relationships for organizational performance. Drawing on prior work on the economics of organizations and the economic theory of production, formal empirical models are developed that identify specific sets of work practices and organizational structures that are complementary to IT investments. These models are then tested by combining existing secondary data sources with an extensive program of data collection on work organization, workforce characteristics and organizational structure from individual firms. The results of this program will enable managers and technologists to identify the appropriate organizational changes that should accompany the implementation of computer systems, improve the general understanding of how information technology influences economic performance, and inform teaching of information technology management. http://grace.wharton.upenn.edu/~lhitt/

该研究和教学计划涉及信息技术（IT）投资和组织实践之间的关系，以及这些关系对组织绩效的影响的调查。 借鉴以前的工作组织的经济学和生产的经济理论，正式的经验模型，确定具体的工作实践和组织结构，是互补的IT投资。 这些模型进行测试，结合现有的二级数据源与广泛的数据收集方案的工作组织，劳动力的特点和组织结构，从个别公司。 该计划的结果将使管理人员和技术人员能够确定应伴随计算机系统实施的适当组织变革，提高对信息技术如何影响经济绩效的总体理解，并告知信息技术管理的教学。 http://grace.wharton.upenn.edu/~lhitt/
