Abstract:

From the perspective of the interactive mechanism between information technology and

organizational structure, this paper makes an indepth analysis of the method and path of

information technology promoting the innovation in the baselevel public administrative sectors

during the Chinese governmental reform. This paper has furthered Barley and Jane Fountain's

analysis frame for the interactive mechanism model of new information technology and organization

and has developed an analytic model of “technologystructure” time series interaction. This new

model has been applied to the study of the complex process of introducing the information technology

innovation to the OneStop Administrative EService Center at Community L in Shanghai.

Key words: information technology, interactive mechanism, practice context
