Summary: Orlikowski and Barley (2001) show the importance to research IT from the perspective of organizational studies, especially when is used neoinstitucional analysis, because there is more systemic understanding of how technology is intertwined in complex interdependent networks, social, economic and political. The case study took place in a court of justice, WHERE data obtained through interviews were triangulated with a documentary research. The dissertation seeks to elucidate how isomorphic pressures can influence IT structures and processes recommended by the legislation in force, in order to help managers of public organizations in setting priorities for IT. To analyze the institutional stage it was used the classification proposed by Tolbert and Zucker (1996) and as a result, despite the coercive isomorphic pressures, it was found that few structures and processes were fully institutionalized and apparently only those who came themselves with other types of isomorphic pressures do seem to have a greater chance of reaching the last institutional stage. It was found that the organization, during the institutionalization process, incur additional failures, generating bureaucratic myths and ceremonial rites, for example, can cause detachment of the largest concern for effectiveness in their results. For certain problems, pointed out during the interviews, it was not possible to find any influence of isomorphic pressure. This suggests that the neoinstitucional theory can not explain the whole scenario of the organization.
