If teamwork is the key to effective organizations, information technology
is the key to effective teamwork. The first part of this paper introduces the concept
of using teams and information technology to effect organizational performance.
Each element on the left side of this "equation" (the teams and the information
technology) is of equal importance in bringing about the "result" (organizational
performance); in fact, the synergistic relationship between teams and information
technology makes them far more effective agents of change together than either
could be apart. In the second יpart of this paper a quantitative model is presented that
makes clear the significance of this relationship and presents the basic components
of the process intended to exploit it: the mutual design of teams and information
technology.
