Abstract: Abstract The empirical cases in Chaps. 5 and 6 plus their organizational analysis in Chap. 7 suggest that the personal dimension cannot be overlooked when flexible mobile computing is desired. In the analysis of organizational control and coordination, we realized that these traditional mechanisms of bureaucracy were seriously challenged forces of ICT innovation, personality and postmodern organization. The disregard of these forces undermined mobile computer usability in the perioperative learning case. However, when they were given some regard in the foreign exchange trading case, usability was enhanced.
