Managers and decision makers face an escalating challenge in understanding the dynamics of their organizations. A major element in this debate is the nature of linkage, or convergence, between organizational change and transformation, corporate planning and attempts to implement the planning at all levels in the process of transformation, and the role of information technology and systems for decision support and communication in organizations. This book was concieved to address this challenge. It contains papers addressing, especially: frameworks for organizational transformation; issues in corporate growth, upsizing, mergers and acquisitions; and issues in downsizing, privatization, outsourcing and personal innovation.

This volume presents an exploration of this relatively new subject. The book follows two different trails, which eventually are brought together. The first trail is an exploration in Chapters One and Two of the general nature of the finance industry, of the institutions which make it up, of the people in it and the pressures they are under. The first trail also examines the nature of the reward system in the finance industry. The second trail is an examination of the guidance people can obtain from four of the world's great religions on exactly how people ought to behave when engaged in the financial industry. The second part of the book is contained in Chapters Three to Seven. If people propose to advise the financiers to be ethical, it is important to know what is meant by this, and to call upon reliable sources and why they are using the four particular religious sources chosen. The next four chapters extract business and financial commands and one or two important interpretive writings from Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism.Part Three of the book (Chapters Eight to Twelve) is a distillation of the concepts from the religions, an application of the concepts to the modern financial world, and a discussion of the various organizational tools which might be used to put them into operation.

Within this perspective, computer and communication technologies are seen as an amplification of the human data processing capabilities which limit the decision process.
