It presents two distinct historical traditions which have contributed to the current field of participatory design methodologies—<em>Joint Application Design</em> (JAD<sup>®</sup>), and the British “socio-technical systems” and Scandinavian “collective resources” approaches—and which in practice integrated the end-users in different ways consequent upon their differing perspectives on workers, professional relationships to technology, and stated goals. One interest in examining the independent development of methodologies from these two perspectives is that, despite their differences, the approaches ultimately converged on a set of shared concerns and very similar practices.</p><p>The paper also examines the relation of these traditions to transformations in the theorization of business organization and trends of corporate restructuring which helped to secure a place for variants of related methodologies in major US and multinational corporations. It concludes with an examination of some broader issues in the relationship between technology and society and the prospects for the critical study of technology. I argue that participatory design and its related methodologies are best understood as a model for involving users, designers <em>and the technology itself</em> in a process of technological development. Rather than seeing participatory design as merely the insertion of public dialog within technological design practices, as several observers have done, we should see it as a model for the critical practice of developing technological designs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100011,"journal":{"name":"Accounting, Management and Information Technologies","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 257-290"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0959-8022(00)00004-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78200340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two principal time–space configurations known as <em>space</em> and <em>place</em> are used to characterize some of the broad transformations occurring in social and organizational structures associated with the intensified use of information technology. The time–space configuration of place with its sense of boundedness, localness and particularity, is contrasted with that of space and its sense of the universal, the generalizable and the abstract. Today's evolving organizational forms reflect an increased reliance on space as a guiding image for organization design and technology deployment. Space as a guiding image brings the hope of making an organization more flexible by freeing it from the constraints of place. This is reflected in the emergence of market-based forms of organizing with their emphasis on outsourcing and inter-organizational alliances.</p><p>We present an ethnographic account of outsourced computer system administrators in a company that is seeking to be a lean, knowledge-intensive, learning organization. Drawing on Bourdieu's theory of practice we explore the tensions between place and space in the firm as well as in the system administrators' work lives. We argue that place and space are always operating simultaneously in an organization, and that they provide an ongoing source of dialectic tension for the individual worker. In keeping with Bourdieu's generative structuralism, we further argue that the computer contractors' work practices, especially their practice of writing, serve to reproduce the conditions under which those tensions emerge.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100011,"journal":{"name":"Accounting, Management and Information Technologies","volume":"10 3","pages":"Pages 187-219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0959-8022(00)00006-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86406003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After discussing issues of meaning and measurement, we identify and assess two main streams of research: studies that apply organizational learning concepts to the process of implementing and using information technology in organizations; and studies concerned with the design of information technology applications to support organizational learning. From the former stream of research, we conclude that experience plays an important, yet indeterminate role in implementation success; learning is accomplished through both formal training and participation in practice; organizational knowledge barriers may be overcome by learning from other organizations; and that learning new technologies is a dynamic process characterized by relatively narrow windows of opportunity. From the latter stream, we conclude that conceptual designs for organizational memory information systems are a valuable contribution to artifact development; learning is enhanced through systems that support communication and discourse; and that information technologies have the potential to both enable and disable organizational learning. Currently, these two streams flow independently of each other, despite their close conceptual and practical links. We advise that future research on information technology and organizational learning proceeds in a more integrated fashion, recognizes the situated nature of organizational learning, focuses on distributed organizational memory, demonstrates the effectiveness of artifacts in practice, and looks for relevant research findings in related fields.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100011,"journal":{"name":"Accounting, Management and Information Technologies","volume":"10 2","pages":"Pages 125-155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0959-8022(99)00017-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"93547788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three information systems histories are presented as case examples and their analysis is based on detailed insider observations. A social process model is used to describe the relationships between key actors within the client organisation while a transaction cost framework is used to explain the joint forms of the relationships between the client and the vendors. The resulting model depicts in a concise way how the relationships have evolved and stabilised over time. In this model, major encounters between the actors are those which have at least the potential to change the relationship state between the parties. The relatively stable passages between consecutive encounters are labelled episodes. By perceiving systems development as a series of encounters and episodes, it is possible to identify the critical turning points of development work and to display the dynamics of a software development trajectory. While our findings support the well-known basic software procurement principle, this is only after the trajectories have stabilised. Two of the three trajectories exhibit major changes in software procurement strategies before reaching a steady state. The paper ends with a discussion of the findings and some implications for researchers and practitioners.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100011,"journal":{"name":"Accounting, Management and Information Technologies","volume":"10 1","pages":"Pages 1-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0959-8022(99)00013-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72624531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
