Lind, Mary R.; Zmud, Robert W.; Fischer, William A.
Data collected from twenty-one firms were used to study the impact of organizational size and structure on the adoption of microcomputers in those firms. The results show that both size and structure had a significant impact on the adoption of microcomputers. Organizational size was measured as the organization's annual sales. The structural characteristics were measured as organizational links (lateral relations) between the information systems area and users of microcomputer technology.  Author Keywords: Linking mechanisms; Organizational size; Organizational structure; Microcomputer adoption; Infrastructure
