The Role of Methodological Actors in Facilitating Organisational Transformation: A study of change in the wireless technology industry

摘要

There is a view that the structure of systems development on innovative projects is very different from that of the traditional Information systems project [1]. This calls for new systems development methods tailored to the specific needs of the current development environment. This paper uses the concepts from the Actor Network theory (ANT) to interpret the events that led to the turning around of a failing systems development methodology to a success at the mobile application and development center. This paper uses the ANT concepts to provide a richer understanding of complexities involved in wireless systems development from a social technical perspective.
