As an example we focus on the establishment during the 1960s of a vision within US retail financial services, namely of the “cashless/checkless society”. Our argument is that the adoption of information technology and the adoption of new organizational forms around it have been driven by shifts in collective ideas of legitimate organizational development. This paper invites readers to look into how beliefs about future events help to better understand organizational change.
