This thesis suggests transferring the concept of self-description into a concept of socio-technical self-description allowing an organization to describe its own computer supported work processes. The presentation of results is organized in four steps: First, a theoretical foundation is elaborated; second, an initial methodological is presented; third, empirical evidence from two explorative case studies is analyzed; fourth, a finalized methodological concept is derived.enCSCWComputer-supported cooperative workSoftware engineeringSoftware-TechnikOrganisationsentwicklungSystemtheorie004doctoral thesisurn:nbn:de:hbz:290-2003/22226-7
