This panel will present a high-level examination of the research papers that have appeared in proceedings of the International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.2, which addresses the interaction between information systems and the organization. More specifically, Working Group 8.2 is "concerned with the generation and dissemination of descriptive and normative knowledge about the development and use of information technologies in organizational contexts," as described in its statement of scope (www.ifipwg82.org). Both information systems and organizations are viewed broadly within the context of research covered by the Working Group.
