Organizational structure and ICT strategies in the Brazilian Justice

Abstract

In this case study, we analyze the influence of the organizational structure in the definition and implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) strategies in the Brazilian Judiciary System. The analysis shows that the existing organizational structure boosts uncoordinated actions, but the National Council of Justice (NCJ) protagonism in the process of coordinating the strategic planning of the Brazilian Judiciary System (and ICT strategic planning) may change this reality, allowing the Brazilian Judiciary System to fully appropriate the benefits of ICT. © 2010 ACM.
