متن کاملConstruction of Situational Information Systems Management Methods
Situational method engineering (SME) is an established approach to create situated methods which allows the systematic construction of software artifacts while considering specific project context and goals. The author’s motivation is to investigate whether and how SME can be applied to Information Systems management (ISM), i.e., if SME concepts can be extended in order to create situated ISM m...

This paper describes two action research projects in co-located voluntary organizations, where both projects could be characterized as process failures. Our main focus is on the mechanisms of appropriation. The analytic framework as well as the basis for the action research projects, have been informed by activity theory. In particular we describe how ICT-based systems enforce structural discip...
متن کاملTowards the Use of Situational Information in Information Retrieval
ors' preference for middle hierarchy labels supports theoretical work done in classification of other objects by Rosch and colleagues [19] who found that within taxonomies there is generally one level of abstraction at which most individuals tend to make category cuts. This is referred to as the basic level and it tends to occur in the categories at the middle of the hierarchy. 2.3 Automatic re...

In this paper we explore the interplay between organisational identity and information systems (IS). More specifically, we examine how the appropriation of new IS may influence established patterns of identity enactment and inter-organisational practices. We report on findings from three in-depth case studies that depict the adoption and use of a new collaborative 3D modelling technology by a m...
