	abstract = {A substantial amount of ongoing work in organizations can be characterized as processes of formalization in which unique circumstances are rendered legible to organizational frameworks and inscribed into institutionalized ways of knowing and doing. Embedded in these processes is the need to manage, distance, and condition the affective and physical experience of the players involved. Using twelve months of ethnographic data gathered in the Family Law unit of the courts in a large county of California, we explore how formalization happens. We find that a dynamic combination of actants (technologies of formalization) engender affective spaces that serve as passage points in the process of formalization. These affective spaces condition the bodies and emotions of customers in a manner that generally mitigates unstable intensity and renders the customer ready to focus on the {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}facts{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} of the case. We suggest that by attending to the multiple actants in an environment we are able to interrogate both the origin and effects of {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}affect{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} as well as better understand how key passage points work in the service of formalization processes. In so doing we expand the conversation about the challenges of public service delivery and put forth the beginning of a theory of how affective spaces serve organizational and institutional goals.},

	address = {Cham},
	abstract = {Affordance has emerged as a core concept in information systems (IS) research during the last decade. This relational concept is applied to understand and theorize the relationship between the social and the technical. In the works of the concept originator James Gibson, the relation was mainly portrayed as an ever-existing fact between the natural environment and an animal. In contrast, IS research focuses on relationships in-the-making between artificial things and human beings. In the IS context, we have identified vagueness in temporal and relational ontology: when do affordances exist and between whom or what? In this paper, we delve into the temporal and relational questions that have been omitted in much of the IS literature. What kind of a relationship is an affordance and when does it occur? Based on our hermeneutic understanding, we identify four stances from the existing literature. We classify those stances as canonical affordance, designed affordance, potential affordance, and affordance as completed action. We further argue that each stance has its own assumptions, consequences, and thus strengths and weaknesses.},

	abstract = {In this paper we have highlighted three things. First, that public organizations are engaged in a technologically driven servitization of their traditional service products. Second, that public organizations must approach this servitization differently because
 of the decision-making role of citizens in the process. Third, it is essential to study the influence citizens have on this
 process through studying the public policy process around decisions concerning the delivery of technology and technologically
 driven services. In this paper we provide an overview of four constituencies and their relationships involved in municipal
 wireless broadband policy. The idea that the growth of information technology-dependent services and activities (education,
 healthcare, and Web 2.0, for instance) are dependent on wide-scale availability of broadband access, and that local governments
 are jumping into this market to establish the necessary infrastructures for such services, makes this a very hotly contested
 space. While national and international political issues are debated on the Internet daily, new avenues for very local, political
 speech and action on the Internet seem to go hand-in-hand with municipal wireless broadband issues. The creation of public
 policy, while normally seen as a top-down process, has always drawn varying input from the outside through avenues such as
 lobbying, town meetings, referendums, and public action. We claim that in the case of municipal wireless broadband policy,
 policy efforts have been turned upside-down, with the majority of policy making now happens at the local level.

	year = {2008},
	month = {2008},
	pages = {367 - 370},
	abstract = {This paper draws from 21 years of discourse to examine a narrative about IBM{\textquoteright}s transition to a service-oriented company. Covering three leadership eras during a period of sweeping change for IBM and the information technology industry, this discourse,
 found in the IBM Corporation{\textquoteright}s annual reports, in illustrates the emergence of policy, technology, and business models in
 one of the largest and most influential IT companies in the world. Our purpose in drawing from these texts is twofold: (1)
 to provide a more thorough discussion of the notion of {\textquotedblleft}emergence{\textquotedblright} in IT organizational settings, and (2) to introduce a fuller
 process model of how emergence is manifest in organizational discourse than is currently present.
 In much of the information systems literature, the term emergence has been informally used in describing organizational contexts and the process of IS development (Markus and Robey 1988;
 Orlikowski 1996; Pfeffer and Leblebici, 1977). In three papers, Truex and his colleagues formally describe and situate a theory
 of emergence in the discourse on ISD methods (Truex and Baskerville 1998, Truex, Baskerville, and Klein 1999; Truex, Baskerville,
 and Travis 2000). They liken ISD to {\textquotedblleft}emergent grammars{\textquotedblright} in a linguistic system. However, they stop short of developing a full
 epistemology of the notion and provide little more than analogical and descriptive examples grounded in linguist Paul Hopper{\textquoteright}s
 (1987, 1988) emergent grammar hypothesis. The incomplete development of the epistemology and an ontology of the emergence
 construct has proven problematic for scholars attempting to apply emergence theory in practice (Bello et al. 2002). While
 researchers or practitioners might find the idea of emergent organizations inviting, without descriptive and explanatory models,
 the concept is difficult to use in the practice or study of information systems. Accordingly, this paper seeks to contribute
 to the development of a theory of emergence.
 We draw from the organizational communication and organizational discourse literature. In a subset of this community, scholars
 have advanced theories on the nature of organization as a discursive construction. For them, discourse is the very foundation
 on which {\textquotedblleft}organization{\textquotedblright} is built (Fairhurst and Putnam 2004; Heracleous 2006; Heracleous and Barrett 2001; Taylor and Robichaud
 2004; Taylor and Van Every 2000). Using this meta-theoretical framework, we explore how emergence arises through an examination
 of IBM{\textquoteright}s annual reports and industry-level discourses, which were, in turn, influenced in part by the IBM declarations and
 subsequent behavioral changes.
 We introduce a new process model of organizational emergence by extending and addressing shortcomings in a set of current
 perspectives in the literature. The tripartite domain model identifies three domains{\textemdash}context, task, and negotiation-at-hand{\textemdash}as
 integral components of any concrete occurrence of discourse. To test its efficacy, we apply the tripartite domain model post hoc to a longitudinal set of IBM Corporation data. The tripartite domain model provides a lens to examine the servitization of
 IBM and, in the process, illustrates the emergent discourse on the notion of {\textquotedblleft}service{\textquotedblright} and on the evolution of the meaning
 of {\textquotedblleft}customer{\textquotedblright} in the IBM dataset.

	year = {2008},
	month = {2008},
	pages = {379 - 381},
	abstract = {The emergence of a service economy facilitates proliferation of software service companies (SSCs), small firms offering various software services such as software maintenance, testing, and customization. Given the unique characteristics of SSCs (i.e.,
 small-scale projects, limited resources, strong customer dependency, etc.), software process improvement (SPI) in SSCs faces
 additional challenges. Based on Helfat and Peteraf{\textquoteright}s framework of a dynamic capability lifecycle, this study aims to understand
 how dynamic capabilities are developed to facilitate SPI implementation, and how these capabilities can be maintained and
 transformed in a changing context. An in-depth interpretive case study was conducted in a SSC, namely SGSC, which is the an
 offshore software service center of a leading U.S. document management company, Xerox Corporation. Drawing insights from the
 framework, this study demonstrates the evolution of key resources and dynamic capabilities as well as their impacts on the
 success of the SPI project.
 Responding to the ownership transfer from Xerox to Fuji Xerox group in 2005, the center decided to implement new SPI process.
 As shown in Figure 1, three capabilities (i.e., capability to strategize, capability to be flexible, and capability to integrate and engender trust) were built up during the first two phases (i.e., establishing direction and implementing SPI). Development of each capability
 was accomplished through some actions with the support of various resources.
 After development, capabilities can evolve over time (Zollo and Winter 2002). Two capabilities (capability to strategize and capability of integrate and engender trust) were maintained through regular exercise, which helps to refresh the company{\textquoteright}s memory and facilitate the creation of embedded
 knowledge. Besides being maintained, capabilities may also branch into different forms when external factors have a strong
 impact to alter the current development trajectory. At SGSC, ownership transfer resulted in a dramatic change in terms of
 external relationships and internal structure. With changes in the supporting resources, capabilities built up in previous
 phases were further transformed into different branches. Capability to be flexible was renewed because of better communication and sharing resources with external partners. Capability to strategize was also renewed after obtaining a long-term view from the new parent company. Figure 2 summarizes the life cycle of three
 capabilities in this study.
 By integrating theoretical perspective with empirical evidence, this paper contributes to both researchers and practitioners.
 For researchers, it constitutes one of the first empirical studies to extend Helfat and Peteraf{\textquoteright}s general framework of the
 capability life cycle by demonstrating how capabilities can be transformed through altered resources over time. Moreover,
 this study advances the SPI literature by suggesting a conceptual framework for SPI implementation in a small-scale, service-oriented
 company. Practically, this study provides invaluable suggestions to managers on how firms can successfully implement SPI strategy
 when facing dramatic changes in the external environment or internal structure.

	year = {2008},
	month = {2008},
	pages = {375 - 378},
	abstract = {This research explores the issue of how ablogring, a circle/community of blogs with a common theme (Xanga 2008; Chua and Xu 2007), could be utilized to form a loosely distributed exchange of products for monetary and nonmonetary returns. Specifically,
 we present a research model that identifies factors influencing a blogger{\textquoteright}s intention to participate in a commercial exchange, a commercial activity involving a blogger and a reader within a blogring.
 A blogring is conceptualized as a natural segmentation of user-alike whereby members (i.e., bloggers and readers) converge toward common interests reflected in the blog contents (Kumar et al.
 2004; Gumbrecht 2004). The formation of this social network provides bloggers with the social capital to engage in collaboration
 and cooperation with other members (Putnam 2000; Peece 2002). Economizing on this social capital, bloggers could engage in
 product, service, and/or money exchanges. We term this process the economic leverage of personal blog (Balasubramanian and Mahajan 2001). Such an economic leverage includes selling, barter trading, and outright giving away
 items that can be identified or associated with the shared interests of the blogring. In other words, any exchange between
 bloggers and readers need not necessarily be for monetary returns but could also involve an exchange of knowledge or expertise
 in return for approval-related utility (Balasubramanian and Mahajan 2001). With this understanding, we next present our research
 model.
 The research model (Figure 1) draws from three streams of literature. First, we reference the similarity attraction theory
 (Byrne 1971), which posits that people prefer to interact with like-minded others. For instance, salespeople generally prefer
 to sell to prospects sharing characteristics (e.g., gender and age) with themselves (Dwyer et al. 1998). Hence, we conjecture
 that bloggers could be more inclined to commercial exchange with readers who have similar interests. We term this blogger-reader similarity. Second, the general premise of the social network dictates that members could place higher priority on relationships and
 ties with other members within a blogring compared with individuals{\textquoteright} personality attributes. Hence, we could posit that the
 stronger the tie (Frenzen and Davis 1990; Marsden and Campbell 1984) between a buyer and a seller, the higher the likelihood
 for purchase (Frenzen and Davis). Additionally, the closer a reader is to the blogger, the greater the ease of engaging in
 an exchange due to greater influence exerted by the blogger over the reader (Burkhardt 1994).
 Third, building on the decision-making framework proposed by Luce, Bettman, and Payne (2001), we hypothesize that the decision
 of whether to engage in an exchange depends on the appraisal of the exchange situation, which in turn is influenced by blogger-reader
 similarity and social network. A positive appraisal should lead to a higher exchange intention from the blogger. However,
 any negative peer pressure against commercialism exerted by other blogring members could negatively moderate the appraisal
 (Luce et al. 2001), thus leading to lower exchange intention.

This is evaluated through an intervention, or action-research, in the form of a class named Gaming for Girls.

In particular, we discuss intervention methods that aim at changing socialization patterns by bringing girls into an all-girl classroom, reducing game violence by altering the forms of game action, and removing potentially negative character designs by allowing girls to design characters and game interaction themselves.

	pages = {119 - 131},
	abstract = {The demands of the global world increasingly dictate that people travel in order to conduct work. Oftentimes, this means that team members are neither strictly here nor there. Teams such as these are hybrids, where members alternate between co-located and distributed contexts. The pervasive nature of information and communication technologies, however, continues to impose an expectation of availability on the team members even as they travel. In this paper, we take a reflexive research stance to inform our understanding of the complexities of accomplishing knowledge work within a hybrid team configuration. An illustrative case highlights issues and outcomes associated with member availability that arose during the writing of a research paper. Categorical reasons for member unavailability are identified and contrasted with the expectation of availability. We suggest that the issues and conflict we experienced may be traced to the ambiguous nature of the task and the early project phase requiring problem for mulation.},

	year = {2007},
	pages = {397 - 401},
	abstract = {In medical education and clinical care, representations of the patient help health care teams in planning and coordinating patient care, sometimes over geographic distances. This takes forms ranging from telemedicine consultations to using simulations and information and communication technology representations to plan, and at times, perform clinical procedures such as are done in intensive care units or in surgery. The increasing reliance on computer-mediated interaction in health care generally is considered the means to more efficient, equitable, and cost-effective care with reduced errors. Clinical work, then, may be carried out with simulated images and processes rather than through such physical processes as examining the patient directly. Instead of treating the actual person, one result may be that clinicians are treating computer-mediated representations of that person. This session explores virtuality in health care environments, with a particular focus on the virtual patient. Panelists discuss treating representations of patients by addressing how: (1) usability studies reveal the extent to which physicians may pay more attention to representations of the patient condition rather than to the actual patient, (2) images may be considered as more real than the patient, (3) different graphic representations of patient data have different consequences, and (4) virtuality affects quality of care in virtual intensive care units. From different research and theoretical perspectives and studies in these different environments with different technologies, panelists discuss repercussions of virtuality on teamwork and service delivery in health care. Their presentations of developments leading towards virtual patients point towards significant issues of virtuality in other environments.},

	year = {2006},
	pages = {51 - 65},
	abstract = {Discourses about technology and its role in development have been constant themes within IFIP Working Group 8.2 (see the Barcelona proceedings{\textemdash}Wynn et al. 2002). In this paper, we examine how strands of discourse{\textemdash}institutionalized ways of thinking and speaking{\textemdash}shape
 debate about the digital divide and urban poverty in America. As research is widely esteemed as a wellspring of new ideas,
 we are especially interested in how discourses inform scholarly inquiry into urgent social problems. As information and communication
 technologies (ICTs) are increasingly hailed as drivers of industry and commerce, we believe that it will be instructive to
 examine economic development discourse, which strongly informs the case for bridging the digital divide.
 First, using Fairclough{\textquoteright}s three-level framework for critical discourse analysis (CDA), we reveal that the discursive hegemony
 of economic development alarmingly constrains approaches to urban revitalization. Linking economic development to the digital
 divide, we show how the ongoing evolution of ICTs has become tightly linked to economic development. Both are discourses of
 equality in which those who lack money and technology are cast as needy problem sectors that will be left behind, failing
 to reap a host of benefits. Hence, there is an urgent call for these {\textquotedblleft}have-nots{\textquotedblright} to catch up to models of prosperity embodied
 by the wealthy or technology savvy. We find fault with this discourse because it narrowly privileges money and technology,
 and raises alarm at their mere absence, while obscuring substantive needs{\textemdash}hunger, homelessness, ill health{\textemdash}of actual consequence.
 We propose that, in order truly to realize the potential of ICT, we must first reinvent discourse{\textemdash}discarding the mantra of
 catching up{\textemdash}and set in motion efforts to address self-determined needs, supported by ICT.

	abstract = {This exploratory paper examines the various challenges that women working in information and communications technology (ICT) in England face in relation to their age, their life stage, and their career stage, with these three aspects being at least
 partially related. We first examine the literature currently available in relation to women, age and ICT work, arguing that
 age tends to be the forgotten variable in research on women in ICT. Using eight case studies of individual female ICT professionals
 in their twenties, thirties, forties, and fifties, we explore the nuances of experience these women have in relation to their
 career and their caring responsibilities. We consider the possibility that women in ICT may have heterogeneous experiences
 of working in what are often {\textquotedblleft}masculinized{\textquotedblright} environments related to, but not determined by, their age. Based on our interpretations
 of our empirical data, we adapt Super{\textquoteright}s career-stage theory to better frame our subsequent theoretical assertions. To conclude,
 we suggest that exploring age, life stage, and/or career stage in relation to female ICT professionals{\textquoteright} circumstances and
 experiences means that we can better theorize gender in the field of information systems, and hence develop more relevant
 gender inclusion strategies.

To do so, we draw on a multi-organization field trial of uses of mobile computing by criminal justice personnel. Our findings make clear that mobile computing does not yet meet operational needs. In high contrast, we find that the belief these mobile computing technologies will solve the preponderance of organizational, informational, and communication problems that beset contemporary criminal justice efforts is unchanged by the shortcomings of the current environment. While the devices, applications, and telecommunications network never worked as intended or expected, their introduction was met with acceptance, enthusiasm, and the deterministic belief that they would make work better. We go beyond the common explanation of learning from a field trial and explore the contradictions inherent to the findings through the lens of technological determinism. In doing this, we highlight several implications that deterministic beliefs have regarding organizational value of field trials and research conceptions regarding the introduction of new computing technologies.},

We held a total of 33 focus group sessions comprised of 222 active mobile device users in four highly developed countries (Finland, Japan, Hong Kong, and the United States) with high penetration of mobile technology. We are specifically focusing on manifestations of paradoxes with regard to mobile technology. We identify eight major technology paradoxes that play a central role in the mobile technology usage experience: (1) empowerment-enslavement, (2) independence- dependence, (3) fulfills needs-creates needs, (4) competence-incompetence, (5) planning-improvisation, (6) engaging-disengaging, (7)public-private, and (8) illusion-disillusion.

Advertisers could deliver contextually appropriate advertising messages through wireless devices on a geographically targeted basis and could reach mobile consumers when they are most likely to make a purchase (K{\"o}lmel and Alexakis 2002). However, because LBA could also associate the lifestyle habits, behaviors, and movements with a consumer {\textquoteright}s personal identity, privacy concern is particularly salient for LBA.

Thus, there is a research need not only to examine and assess the ways in which information systems are used and affect people; there is also a research need to examine and assess the research approaches that are used to carry out these assessments. This paper examines the enactment of the critical tradition in IS research and the possibilities for new insights that can arise from shifting the lens from positivist or interpretive to critical.

	abstract = {The issue of the legitimacy of Information Systems is important for researchers in this field because other disciplines have begun to lay claim to research topics often thought to belong to the domain of IS research, and the field itself is under challenge in academic intuitions around the world (Avison 2002). Benbasat and Zmud{\textquoteright}s (2003) opinion is that IS has gained socio-political legitimacy but not cognitive legitimacy in large measure because the object of study in much IS research is not clearly delineated. In part, they are defining a disciplinary boundary issue and beginning to define criteria by which our field may be distinguished from reference disciplines or other related disciplines. Therefore, to gain more cognitive legitimacy, a clearer understanding of what we mean by {\textquotedblleft}an information system{\textquotedblright} and of the central issues driving its creation and use is needed if it is at the core of that which we study. This paper advances that discourse by examining the role of a handful of French scholars, many of whom are not well known out of French academic circles, but whose thoughts on the issue are useful in furthering the debate on the ontological grounding of our field.},

	abstract = {Corporations are perpetually hunting for ways to develop exclusive, sustainable, and competitive advantages that will enable them to leapfrog ahead of their industrial adversaries. Notably, the debut of enterprise systems (ES) during the recent decade has given rise to frequent talk of the utilization of integrative, IT-inspired business mechanisms to achieve the much sought-after but elusive competitive edge. Others, however, have argued that the search for sustainable competitiveness should instead be anchored in organizational efforts to cultivate and build up firm-specific dynamic capabilities. Cognizant of the various perspectives, this paper takes a holistic approach in proposing the achievement of sustainable competitive advantages by examining the manner in which ES adoption can contribute to the forging of dynamic capabilities. In particular, Montealegre{\textquoteright}s (2002) process model of capability development is adopted as the analytical framework to explore the strategization of ES development in two different organizations, with the main distinction being that one of them subscribes to commercially available SAP applications while the other chooses to develop its ES in-house. Through comparing and contrasting evidence from both cases, this study attempts to decipher how ES adoption can be strategized to develop strategic capabilities and understand the implications between off-the-shelf and bespoke ES in affecting the process of dynamic capability development.},

We claim that in order to fully unleash the potential of activity theory, activity-based methods should be developed further for IS requirements analysis projects and IS implementation projects, as well as for facilitating software development.

	abstract = {Under certain circumstances, a critical orientation to the study of workplace deviance/resistance is necessary to understand ICT-enabled workplace culture and employee behavior. The critical orientation to workplace deviance characterizes acts in opposition to an organization with the potential to do harm as semi-organized, group resistance to organizational authority. The questions that drive this research are, does technology enable deviance? When does an act of social deviance become an act of resistance against domination? The answers depend on the perspective of the labeler. To discuss these, I offer the example of a case study of a small software development company called Ebiz.com. For the first few years of the existence of Ebiz.com, the social control exerted on the employees increased yet there were no observable or discussed acts of employee retaliation. I argue that the social environment of the dot-com bubble allowed several myths to propagate widely and affect human behavior. As the market began to fail, and dot-corns began to close, the employees seemed to recognize their situation and enact deviant behavior, or resist. Most importantly, what I have learned from this work is that ICT work may lead to increased deviant or resistant behaviors and that ICT work may also provide a means to do increased deviant or resistant behavior.},

	abstract = {Research related to information systems development has roughly followed two diverse paths. The first, pursued by the software engineering community, is aimed at creating techniques for the efficient engineering of IT artifacts. The second, pursued by communities such as IFIP 8.2, attempts to understand and anticipate the impact of IT on organizations or upon one another by incorporating social science theories. The two views are in conflict because the former treats information systems merely as reflections of requirements, whereas the latter views them as agents of change. As a result, the two streams have suffered from increasing emphasis on minutiae and are, at worst, in danger of losing their relevance. Recent research in emergent systems development and developers{\textquoteright} engagement in problem and design spaces suggest a possible approach to integrating the two streams. In particular, we argue that novel R-forms (representation techniques) can proactively facilitate the engineering of information systems in emergent organizations. Using insights from research in both streams, we develop a set of requirements that can guide the development of new R-forms that may take into account both the engineering of the IT artifact as well as the emergent nature of organizational context in which the IT artifact will be deployed.},

	abstract = {Being hailed as possessing the ability to drive effective business reengineering and management of core and support processes, it is not surprising that enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have been adopted by more than 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies at the turn of the century. In contrast, legacy systems have frequently been attached with negative connotations. Yet at the same time, it is common knowledge that some legacy systems are not replaced when companies adopt ERP solutions, while new in-house systems still continue to be developed. While risks and time involved have been highlighted as possible reasons for the non-replacement of legacy systems, little attention has been paid to process issues as well as the symbolic meanings attached to the ERP vis-a-vis the other coexisting information systems. This research employs symbolic interactionism as the informing theoretical perspective in an ethnographic study of a large government authority in Singapore. Our findings surprisingly indicate that contrary to popular belief, the end-users in that organization tend to attach rather favorable symbols to their legacy and new in-house developed systems, while displaying relatively negative sentiments towards their ERP package. In this paper, we first discuss the different symbolism attached over the years to the coexisting systems. Next, we highlight how certain symbols gradually got sedimented over time. Finally, we demonstrate how the consequent manifestations of these symbolic realities influenced certain organizational actions that impacted the usage and perpetuation of the coexisting systems.},

	abstract = {The article discusses the term {\textquotedblleft}embodiment{\textquotedblright} according to the different meanings it has in contemporary cultural discourse on the one hand, and in Artificial Intelligence or Artificial Life modeling on the other. The discussion serves as a backdrop for analysis of an interactive artwork by Vancouver artist Liz Van der Zaag, {\textquotedblleft}Talk Nice{\textquotedblright}, which behaves like an Intelligent A gent that interacts socially with humans. {\textquotedblleft}Talk Nice{\textquotedblright} has features corresponding to both conceptions of embodiment, and it elicits further ideas about the significance of those notions for definitions of selfhood.},
