IMPACTS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ON THE PROFESSIONAL STRUCTURE “THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEW ORGANIZATION” Reading the article “The advent of the new organization” by Peter F . Drucker mentioned several major points about the impact of information technology on management. and restructured the entire business process. Information-based organizations have sufficient computing power to control the workforce without certain levels of management.
