The Center for Research on Information Technology and Organizations
(CRITO) at UC Irvine is one of the world's leading think tanks on
the impact of information technology on organizations and society,
and on the management of information technology.
CRITO has a rich tradition of studying the impacts of information
technology (IT) on organizations and society that stretches back
more than two decades. It is home to well over a dozen internationally
recognized experts in the fields of management, computer science,
and social science, often bringing the advantages of multidisciplinary
perspectives to the problems at hand.
Researchers focus on the management of IT, the IT-enabled enterprise,
technology-intensive user environments, and the increasingly global
nature of IT use and production. They have been consultants to international
corporations and government agencies, have published over a dozen
books and have won numerous major awards for excellence in their
fields. CRITO conducts both academic and applied research.
The Center's core group of investigators at UCI is comprised of
faculty from several different disciplines including The Paul Merage
School of Business, The Donald Bren School of Information and Computer
Sciences, School of Social Sciences, and the Department of Education.
CRITO is supported by the Office of Vice Chancellor for Research
of the University of California, Irvine, and by competitive research
grants from The U.S. National Science Foundation,
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, IBM Global
Services, UC Mexus, UC Pacific
Rim Research Program and California Institute of
Information Technology and Telecommunications (Calit2).
