Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.: MIS Reorganization (A) and Project ICON (A), Abridged
Abstract
Describes the reorganization of the Systems Development resource from Central MIS to the divisions. Whereas this had been planned for October 1990, unexpected senior management changes precipitated a request to reorganize 12 to 18 months ahead of schedule. Also describes a decision that must be made whether or not to centralize all mainframe processing--even that which had been handled by the London data center--in the Allentown data center. A rewritten version of two earlier cases.
