Socio-technical Systems Approach - a reading list

Many business students are not familiar with the Socio-technial systems approach. I provide the following readings for your reference:

1. Bell, S. and Wood-Harper, T. (1998) "Chapter 7: Technical Needs, Social Needs - Getting the right balance" Rapid Information Systems Development, The McGraw-Hill Companies.
2. Jackson, M.C. (1991) "Chapter 3: Organizations as Systems" Systems Methodology for the Management Sciences, Plenum
3. Pava, C.H. (`983) Managing New Office Technology: An Organizational Strategy, The Free Press.
4. Trist, E. (1983) "Article 5: A socio-technical critique of scientific management" in Lockett, M. and Spear, R. (editors) Organizations as Systems, The Open University Press.

The literature on the socio-technical systems approach is quite big; the 4 references above are just some examples.
