The aim of the paper is to inquire how technology can be analysed in order to develop a deeper knowledge about the project process and the implications for management of IT-dependent change projects. Two Intranet projects, and one telemedicine project, are analysed from the perspective of social construction of technology (SCOT) and actor network theory (ANT). By using the concepts of technological frames, from SCOT, and inscriptions, from ANT, it has been possible to create a framework for describing technology and its role in the process of IT-dependent change projects.

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to inquire how technology can be analysed in order to develop a deeper knowledge about the project process and the implications for management of IT-dependent change projects. Two Intranet projects, and one telemedicine project, are analysed from the perspective of social construction of technology (SCOT) and actor network theory (ANT). By using the concepts of technological frames, from SCOT, and inscriptions, from ANT, it has been possible to create a framework for describing technology and its role in the process of IT-dependent change projects.
