Social Audit and Accountability in IT Management
A characteristic of the electronically operated global capitalism is that it is structured with the help of information networks integrating capital interests at the global level. On the other hand, although there is a unity of labour process along the complex global networks, the labour is, in principle, local and individualized. In the new network landscape, information technologies, including the Internet, provide a technical support for a greater justice and equality on the virtual highways, thus affirming the voice of an individual. In this way, Foucault's thesis (1982) that power relations are rooted into the entire network of society comes into realisation. Corporate behaviour is in line with the dominant social norms, values and expectations, but at the same time it can be significantly modified by social pressures and change. The same goes for the ways in which information technologies are implemented within organisations, which means that a continual evaluation of IT management programmes is needed, not only from the point of view of its technical effectiveness but also from the point of social audit and accountability in management.
