	abstract = {There is an increasing interest within both organisational and social contexts in virtual worlds and virtual reality platforms. Virtual worlds are highly graphical systems in which avatars interact with each other, and almost every event and conversation is logged and recorded. This presents new challenges for qualitative researchers in information systems. This paper addresses the challenges of analyzing the huge amounts of qualitative data that can be obtained from virtual worlds (both images and text). It addresses how images might be used in qualitative studies in virtual worlds, and proposes a new way to analyze textual data using a qualitative software tool called Leximancer. This paper illustrates these methods using a study of a social movement in a virtual world.},

	year = {2006},
	pages = {381 - 396},
	abstract = {This paper discusses some of the difficulties and challenges that an information technology (IT) firm in a developing country faces in its attempt to become a global player. In 1999, the firm KnowICT embarked on a strategic project called Knowledge
 Management (KM), whose main purpose was to unify and integrate knowledge that resided in the various organizational business
 units into one strategic knowledge infrastructure. By combining the knowledge resources dispersed in the various organizational
 business units, KnowICT managers hoped that KnowICT could be transformed into a leading global IT consultancy firm, rather
 than be seen just as a provider of routine outsourcing jobs. Although at a basic operational level the KM project has been
 deemed a success, the attempt to combine the knowledge resources from the various organizational business units proved more
 difficult than anticipated. We use postcolonial theory to explain the difficulties and challenges that KnowICT faces. Postcolonial
 theory draws attention to issues of power, ownership, control, and identity. We suggest postcolonial theory can meaningfully
 enhance our understanding of the development and use of information and communication technologies in developing countries.
