Research on information systems in developing countries: Current landscape and future prospects (2006, background): “Braa, Monteiro, and Sahay (2004) also discussed cross-cultural issues but, unlike most reported studies, they dealt with South– South rather than North–South contexts.”
Being Proactive: Where Action Research Meets Design Research (2005, positive): “In discussing this problem, Braa et al. (2004) propose that knowledge is shared through networks of organizations and not as an explicit artifact of individual AR projects.”
ICT4D research: reflections on history and future agenda (2017, background): “An example of this is the work of the Health Information Systems Programme (HISP) which started in the 1990s in post-apartheid South Africa and is now applied in a wide range of countries and contexts (Braa, Monteiro, & Sahay, 2004).”
The Next Generation of Research on IS Use: A Theoretical Framework of Delegation to and from Agentic IS Artifacts (2021, background): “…drew from multiple literatures of agent-based interactions including (Table 3): IS use research (Burton-Jones et al. 2020), IS scholarship on ANT (Braa et al. 2004; Chiasson and Davidson 2005; Hanseth et al. 2006; Lamb and Kling 2003; Scott and Wagner 2003), IS scholarship on sociomateriaity…”
Discourses on ICT and Development (2010, background): “An example of the socially embedded view of IS innovation is the extensive action research program aiming to contribute to the development and implementation of healthcare information systems (HISP) in African, Asian, and Latin American countries (Braa et al., 2007a; Braa et al., 2004).”
Developing Health Information Systems in Developing Countries: The Flexible Standards Strategy (2007, background): “During the apartheid era in South Africa, health services were fragmented into 17 different services, separated according to race and the system of “homelands” for black South Africans.”
Doing interpretive research (2006, methodology): “My previous paper dealt solely with interpretive case studies, whereas the current paper is aimed at interpretive research more generally, including ethnographies (e.g. Schultze, 2000), and action research with an interpretive style (e.g. Braa et al ., 2004).”
Information systems in developing countries: a critical research review (2008, background): “…perceptions of desirable world orders, such as Sen’s theory of capabilities (Madon, 2004) or conceptual models of assumed transformations happening in the contemporary world that necessitate ICT infrastructures, such as Castells’ ideas of society and economy as networks (Braa et al ., 2004).”
