摘要

本文考察了信息技术(IT)和分散的工作组织是否只对大公司或对小公司是互补的。经验证据表明,信息技术和权力下放之间的互补性,主要基于大公司。利用来自德国制造业和服务业的3292家中小企业和598家大型企业的样本数据,我可以观察企业在企业软件和计算机使用方面的IT强度,以及企业是否有分散的工作组织。我发现工作实践分散的中小企业倾向于更密集地使用IT。此外,对于中小企业的样本,IT和分散的工作组织单独与更高的生产力相关,但IT和分散的组合并不产生生产力溢价。相反,对于大公司的样本,结果表明IT的生产率正依赖于分权。研究结果表明,将IT和分散的工作组织相结合似乎只对大公司是一种成功的策略。

Combining Technology and Work Organization: An Analysis of Complementarity between IT and Decentralization across Firms of Different Size
This paper examines whether information technology (IT) and decentralized work organization are complementary only for large firms or also for smaller firms. Empirical evidence, which suggests complementarity between IT and decentralization, is mainly based on large firms. Using data from a sample of 3292 SMEs and of 598 larger firms from the manufacturing and service sector in Germany, I can observe firms' IT intensity in terms of enterprise software and computer use and whether firms have a decentralized work organization. I find that SMEs with decentralized work practices tend to use IT more intensively. Moreover, for the sample of SMEs, IT and decentralized work organization are individually associated with higher productivity but the combination of IT and decentralization does not yield a productivity premium. Contrarily, for the sample of larger firms, the results show that the productivity of IT depends positively on decentralization. The findings suggest that combining IT and decentralized work organization seems to be a successful strategy only for larger firms.
