Abstract
Describes the history of Energis, one of the United Kingdom''s major alternative telecommunications network service providers (altnets). Tracks the company from its birth as a diversification move by the National Grid, the UK''s leading electricity distributor, through its dramatic growth, buoyed partly by the Internet boom, to its ultimate collapse. Illustrates the impact of major exogenous regulatory, technological, and demand shocks on an organization and highlights how these can be exaggerated by endogenous factors such as strategy, organizational structure, and systems.
