The focus is on: (1) design as a process, (2) the effect of design tools on the process as well as alternative designs, (3) the fit between the tools and their fit with the organization, (4) the effect of an ongoing agency-wide transformation, and (5) implications for organizational contingency theory. %B Organization Science %V 17 %P 171-312 %8 2006 %G eng %N 2 %2 a %4 222727751680 %$ 222727751680
