Adoption of Information and Communication Technologies and New Organizational Practices in the Tunisian Manufacturing Sector

The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between the adoption of Information Technologies(IT) and the adoption of New Organizational Practices (NOP) in the context of an emerging country (Tunisia).
