- Adaptive Structuration Theory (AST) has been used for a number of years in the information systems discipline to study the use of new technologies in organizations. In this paper it is applied to a relatively new technology, context-aware applications. AST provides a useful lens for examining the impact of a particular context-aware application, CABdriver. Used in conjunction with the repertory grid technique and lead users in an action research study, a research approach for exploring the ways in which the technology impacts individuals within small groups is presented.

Evaluating innovative prototypes: Assessing the role of lead users, adaptive structuration theory and repertory grids

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Innovation evaluation approaches have primarily focused on studying the adoption and use of existing technologies. However, as development timelines and product life cycles continue to shrink, it is useful to be able to evaluate emerging innovative technologies. Recognizing this, the research outlined in this paper shows how lead users (Von Hippel 1988) can be combined with adaptive structuration theory (DeSanctis & Poole 1994) and the repertory grid technique (Kelly 1955) in evaluation of innovations at the prototype stage. A context-aware application, co-developed by the researchers and industrial representatives, is presented as an illustration of such a prototype. The paper demonstrates how IT researchers can take an active stance in the evaluation of on-going technological innovation designs.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Assumptions about an object under study can influence research in many ways. These preconceptions color the researcher’s perspective, and influence the research purpose, the research questions addressed, and the research methods used. This paper identifies and analyzes the following assumptions regarding information systems methodology (ISM) research: the positive impact of methodologies on the process and product of information system design; the irrationality of design practice; the existence of knowledge about good design practice; the ability to communicate design knowledge to practicing designers; and the ability to change the rationality of design practitioners. The impact of these assumptions on ISM research is examined for the purpose of highlighting limitations of past research and identifying more promising directions for the future.
