Why is it important?

Among other things, Groth discusses the history of organizations, the use of pre-computer tools, the basic human limitations in organization building and what we can learn from this when searching for the possible contributions of IT. Groth shows that to implement technology without giving due consideration to organizational matters is to invite disaster.
