Letters to the Editor: Defining IT-Enabled Work Systems: Response to Alter Academic Article

abstract

• Alter [2006] critiques our definition and use of the term work system in Jasperson, Carter, and Zmud [2005]. We respond to his conclusions by focusing on our conceptualization of work systems, of which the definition is only one part. In addition, we reemphasize and clarify our definition of work systems and discuss where we believe Alter misinterprets our work.
