Rethinking the Corporate Workplace: Case Managers at Mutual Benefit Life
內容大綱
In early 1991, a spirit of innovation and organizational change was in the air at Mutual Benefit Life, with the success of the new "case manager" program its most concrete manifestation. Using powerful computer workstations, case managers could see insurance applications through from start to finish, and many had been trained to do their own underwriting.

Objective is to explore the organizational changes necessitated by personal computer technology in the setting of a rapidly changing firm.
