    Notes: Considers the potential role of anthropology as a source disciplinefor information systems. Although anthropology has been largelyneglected in the IS research literature, it is argued that importantinsights can be gained by adopting an anthropological perspective oninformation systems phenomena. Illustrates the value of ananthropological perspective by looking at the relationship betweeninformation technology and organizational culture. Shows that theconcept of culture has generally been used rather narrowly in the ISliterature, and argues that a more critical, anthropological view of therelationship between IT and organizational culture is required.

    Trying to improve communication and collaboration with information technology: An action research project which failed (1999)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 12 (1999), S. 317-332 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845

    Topics: Computer Science , Sociology
    Notes: Discusses the use of information technology to facilitate communication and collaboration. In this action research project a groupware product called Lotus NotesTM was implemented to facilitate communication and collaboration amongst the senior management team. Although there was a real need for change, and the project received strong support from senior management on the basis that it would enable radical changes in coordination within the workgroup, these radical changes did not occur. The authors analyse the reasons for failure, and suggest that the project failed because of institutional forces which inhibited dramatic changes in work habits.

    Hidden agendas, power and managerial assumptions in information systems development: An ethnographic study (1997)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 10 (1997), S. 224-240 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Computer Science , Sociology
    Notes: A number of researchers have drawn attention to the way in which information systems development is an inherently political activity. Using the critical social theory of Jurgen Habermas, discusses the development of an information system in mental health. Using critical ethnography, reveals otherwise hidden agendas, power and managerial assumptions to be deeply embedded in the project. Raises broader questions about the extent to which information systems can be seen as "colonizing mechanisms".

    Scholarship and practice: the contribution of ethnographic research methods to bridging the gap (1995)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 8 (1995), S. 13-27 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Computer Science , Sociology
    Notes: Information systems research methods need to contribute to thescholarly requirements of the field of knowledge but also need todevelop the potential to contribute to the practical requirements ofpractitioners' knowledge. This leads to possible conflicts in choosingresearch methods. Argues that the changing world of the IS practitioneris reflected in the changing world of the IS researcher and thatqualitative approaches to IS research help to bridge the gap between thetwo domains of knowledge. Illustrates how this gap may be bridgedthrough discussing the ethnographic research method. Concludes byassessing the contributions and limitations of this method to ISresearch and practice.
