Individual and Organisational Factors and the Design of IPSEs

P. N. Le Quesne *

The London Business School, Sussex Place, Regent's Park, London NW1 4SA

Based on a recent study of the experiences of four organisations in implementing IPSE technology, this paper considers the implications of the results of that work for the design of IPSEs. These implications fall into two general groups; those which relate to individual needs and concerns and those which are derived from overall organisational issues. Among the characteristics identified as important are the IPSE's ability to support individual as well as co-operative work, its suitability to incremental, ‘bottom-up’, adaptive implementation, and its ability to support procedures and methodology as they are in an organisation rather than how they ought to be.

Received June 1988.
