Abstract
The introduction of a new technology into an organization can significantly impact the
organization's effectiveness. Some possible effects on user personnel and organizational structure
during and after the implementation of an on-line real-time computer-based management
information system are explored in this thesis. The organizational structure and Management
Information Systems (MIS) users within aviation maintenance activities are identified. The
possible impact on the informal and formal decision-making structures within these activities
is predicted using a contingency model. This thesis contains possible implementation strategies
to minimize that impact and maximize the probability of MIS implementation success. The
Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS) is used
as a vehicle to predict possible implementation impacts and strategies. The NALCOMIS
Project Manager and his staff are provided with a partial list of possible problems areas to be
aware of during NALCOMIS implementation.
