Design theory for dynamic complexity in information infrastructures: the case of building internet (2010, background): “…and elements of the standards (Hanseth and Monteiro, 1997; Bowker and Star, 1999; Lyytinen and Fomin, 2002) Another key part of the research has focused on the creation and role of network effects, that is self-reinforcing processes leading to lock-ins (Shapiro and Varian, 1999; Hanseth, 2000).”
Introduction - Platforms and Infrastructures in the Digital Age (2018, background): “11, and USB (Hanseth 2000), as well as consumer devices such as smartphones and tablets.”
Research Commentary - Digital Infrastructures: The Missing IS Research Agenda (2010, methodology): “There is also evidence that problems in realizing organizations' desires to control lead to increased infrastructural drift, where systems " deviate from their planned purpose for a variety of reasons often outside anyone's influence " (Ciborra et al. 2000, p. 4).”
Reconceptualizing Users as Social Actors in Information Systems Research (2003, background): “…these IS critiques place an emphasis on the intransigence of institutions and the processes of institutionally constrained action, while acknowledging the potential for agent-directed change via ICT design-in-use (e.g., Bikson 1996; Bowker and Star 1994; Ciborra et al. 2000; Kling and Iacono 1984).”
Distributed Tuning of Boundary Resources: The Case of Apple's iOS Service System (2015, background): “These scholars note that digital infrastructures differ in their scope and scale from earlier forms of digital technology that were confined within the reach of a single organization (Ciborra et al. 2001; Ghazawneh and Henfridsson 2013; Lyytinen and King 2002).”
Information technology and culture: Identifying fragmentary and holistic perspectives of culture (2005, background): “…imperative is now rejected by many IS scholars as being too simplistic (Markus & Robey, 1988; Orlikowski, 1992) since it does not allow for user agency, chance events (Markus & Robey, 1988), or the possibility that the ways in which IT is used in practice will ''drift'' over time (Ciborra, 2000).”
