Is People-Structure-Tasks-Technology Matrix Outdated?

چکیده
The paper investigates whether the classical socio-technical matrix that differentiate 4 quadrants of social-technical system: people, structure, tasks and technology can still be useful for practical purposes. The paper gives a positive answer on the question, provided that the level of abstraction in defining these four quadrants is increased to deal with culture, type of structure, methods (techniques) and type of technology, as well as the idea of joint optimization is substituted with the idea of alignment. The paper presents some examples where the concept of the augment matrix has been used.

متن کاملGraph Matrix Completion in Presence of Outliers
Matrix completion problem has gathered a lot of attention in recent years. In the matrix completion problem, the goal is to recover a low-rank matrix from a subset of its entries. The graph matrix completion was introduced based on the fact that the relation between rows (or columns) of a matrix can be modeled as a graph structure. The graph matrix completion problem is formulated by adding the...

The focus of this paper is to consider the compressed sensing problem. It is stated that the compressed sensing theory, under certain conditions, helps relax the Nyquist sampling theory and takes smaller samples. One of the important tasks in this theory is to carefully design measurement matrix (sampling operator). Most existing methods in the literature attempt to optimize a randomly initiali...

This empirical study focuses on the impact of an information technology (IT), specifically electronic mail (e-mail), on three basic organization components: structure, people, and tasks. An Organizational Interaction Diamond (OID) model is developed illustrating how each component enables changes in other components interacting with the organization’s internal and external environments. The org...
