This paper presents an empirical study into a hierarchical organization’s experience with the adoption and use of an adaptive information technology, in this case a workflow application. The paper takes an improvisational perspective on the change process and assesses it through a case study which examines the organization’s experiences in terms of anticipated, opportunitybased and emergent cha...

This dissertation presents a review of change management literature and the findings of an empirical study into a hierarchical organization’s experience with the adoption and use of non-adaptive information technology. The findings are grounded in the theory from Orlikowski and Hofman’s (1997) study which provides a generalized improvisational perspective of the change process. This perspective...

In this paper, we propose to extend the hierarchical bivariateHermite Interpolant to the spherical case. Let $T$ be an arbitraryspherical triangle of the unit sphere $S$ and  let $u$ be a functiondefined over the triangle $T$. For $kin mathbb{N}$, we consider aHermite spherical Interpolant problem $H_k$ defined by some datascheme $mathcal{D}_k(u)$ and which admits a unique solution $p_k$in the ...
