Abstract

The Italian judiciary is characterised by a weak system of governance, consequence of institutional and cultural factors. In this framework, the deployment of ICT policies has been mainly conceived as tools to improve the management, the operational efficiency, and the consistent application of rules so to strength the governance of the system. This approach to the ICT can easily be conceived as an attempt that aims to tightly couple the elements of a system that is by nature (constitutionally defined) loose coupled. In this framework, technology has been considered as, if not the instrument to govern, strengthening the liaisons in the organisation, judicial offices, where other “traditional” tools have failed due to institutional and constitutional constraints. Matching and mismatching between institutional and technological constraints are analysed, providing a framework to discusses how these policies have been deployed and the consequence that the nature of the organizational liaisons is playing while the deployment of information systems is concerned.
