Pluralism is questioned in terms of its meaning in political science, and in face of the elusiveness of their central concept of “orientation”. The call for pluralism ignores both political and ethical realities of power versus justice and love in the Christian tradition. The goal of the paper to be “purely generative and analytic” is thereby also questioned, as well as its purpose to explain and understand. Its merit is mainly that it is not concerned with only technical matters, and that it can be used as an ordered bibliographical source of academic readings. In this respect the bibliography must be completed with more references to technology, human-computer interaction, computer-supported cooperative work, design, and privacy as related to justice, power and profitability. Ultimate explanation and understanding of information systems development requires research on its presuppositions, including the paradigmatic limitations of social action theory as compared with other approaches. Today's shift from systems thinking towards learning and networking, where the latter includes conversational sense-making, argumentation, and accommodation or negotiation, is unfortunate and requires careful scrutiny.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100011,"journal":{"name":"Accounting, Management and Information Technologies","volume":"6 1","pages":"Pages 99-113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0959-8022(96)00016-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76925887","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}

This paper reports a comparative analysis of two projects involving the computerisation of ambulance control-room operations in London and Manchester. The outcomes were strikingly different. In the London case, severe operational problems led to the abandonment of the project. In contrast, we report an intensive psychophysiological evaluation of the Manchester project showing that the new system led to both improved service levels and reduced stress (lower blood pressure and subjective anxiety). These contrasting fortunes are attributed to two sets of factors: technical and managerial. The technical design philosophy at Manchester followed what may be called a “tool paradigm” (the system was designed to support/augment the human role) whereas the London project was highly Tayloristic. Implementation at Manchester was also adroitly managed (strong leadership, good staff communication) in contrast to London (weak management, poor industrial relations). The successful deployment in the study of a psychophysiological methodology demonstrates the diagnostic power of this multi-perspective approach, and illustrates its considerable potential in IS research/practice in relation to the design and evaluation of information systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100011,"journal":{"name":"Accounting, Management and Information Technologies","volume":"6 4","pages":"Pages 283-300"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0959-8022(96)90017-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86136337","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}

Findings revealed strikingly different patterns of implementation and social consequences from the same technology. These findings demonstrate the role of social interpretations in the implementation of information technology.

Broadly speaking, the term “post-Fordism” refers to the emergence of a new set of organizational, economic, technological, and social configurations to replace those of “Fordist” mass production. The theoretical arguments surrounding “post-Fordism” rest upon the relationships among these constructs. The role of <em>information technology</em> within the post-Fordist worldview is an important one. Post-Fordist theoretical arguments are rooted in the belief that reality is historically constituted. Thus, the study of information technology in organizational settings cannot be isolated, but must embrace critical dimensions of the organization as well as of the society, industry, and nation of which it is a part. The purpose of this article is, first, to delve into the post-Fordist conceptual foundation, and second, to explore some of the emerging technologies that are consonant with the post-Fordist paradigm. While indebted to the watershed work of Piore and Sabel, following the neo-Schumpeterian analysis, we will argue, first, that technology in fact is an integral part of the structure <em>and</em> culture of a firm itself, and second, that the move from Fordist to post-Fordist economy represents more than simply a change in technology. This transformation represents a shift of major significance in technological, organizational, and cultural paradigms. In this transition from the Fordist to the post-Fordist world, technology has emerged as a paradigmatic force.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100011,"journal":{"name":"Accounting, Management and Information Technologies","volume":"6 3","pages":"Pages 157-173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0959-8022(96)00008-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79965681","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}
