Zusammenfassung:Organisational power is the central issue of this paper. By developing a model of organisational power it is possible to determine whether an organisational change initiative is likely to be politically feasible. The formal model described has been derived from research reported in the social sciences. The model itself breaks new ground in that it applies formal methods, in logic and entity relationship analysis, to discover an effective and consistent means of representing organisational power. The result is an advisory expert system called MP/L1. Industrial experience with MP/L1 to date indicates that it has significant potential as a change management tool within the IS strategy implementation domain.< >
