Materiality and change: Challenges to building better theory about technology and organizing (2008, background): “It is also true that researchers have worked hard to counter the legacy of materialistic determinism by showing that users’ practices, beliefs and agendas significantly shape how information technologies affect organizing and that agency matters even when it is unwitting (Holstrom & Robey, 2005; Orl”
The Next Generation of Research on IS Use: A Theoretical Framework of Delegation to and from Agentic IS Artifacts (2021, background): “…Giddens 1984; Jensen and Meckling 1976; Wiseman and Gomez-Mejia 1998) as well as IS scholars (Jones and Karsten 2008; Jones and Karsten 2009; 17 Walsham 2002), but also the dynamics of delegation in that teams, tasks, and goals can frequently change or need to be adapted (Akinola et al. 2018;…”
Innovating or Doing as Told? Status Differences and Overlapping Boundaries in Offshore Collaboration (2008, background): “reflecting upon them to arrive at joint norms (Brannen and Salk 2000; Walsham 2002; Krishna et al. 2004).”
Information technology and culture: Identifying fragmentary and holistic perspectives of culture (2005, background): “In recent studies, both Walsham (2002) and Myers and Tan (2002) have criticized prior studies of IT and culture that assume that NC is homogenous and integrated.”
Discourses on ICT and Development (2010, background): “In effect, socially embedded studies avoid the juxtaposition of IS innovation (assumed to be inscribed with Western culture) with developing countries culture (assumed to be bent to accommodate it) (Walsham, 2002).”
Organizational culture and leadership in ERP implementation (2008, methodology): “Following Zmud (1988), we define strategic vision as the shared, aspired state of the role that IT should play in the firm.”
Digital transformation strategy making in pre-digital organizations: The case of a financial services provider (2019, background): “Building on structuration theory (Giddens, 1984; Jones and Karsten, 2008; Orlikowski and Robey, 1991; Walsham, 2002), which sees agency and structure as mutually constitutive, the main idea is that those involved in strategy making have a choice between recursive ways of acting based on routines or…”
Information systems in developing countries: a critical research review (2008, background): “Such studies overcome the juxtaposition of IS innovation – assumed to be inscribed with Western culture – with DC culture – assumed to be bent to accommodate it (Walsham, 2002).”
When Flexible Routines Meet Flexible Technologies: Affordance, Constraint, and the Imbrication of Human and Material Agencies (2011, background): “IS-specific variants of structuration theory foreground people’s interpretations, which are guided by their goals, in shaping their interactions with a technology (DeSanctis and Poole 1994; Orlikowski 1992; Walsham 2002).”
Service Innovation in the Digital Age: Key Contributions and Future Directions (2015, background): “On the other hand, the “knowing in practice” perspective (Orlikowski 2002) questioned whether knowledge can be transferred (Walsham 2002) and emphasized knowledge enactment in practices.”
Research on information systems in developing countries: Current landscape and future prospects (2006, methodology): “General sociological theories, which can be thought of as connecting multiple levels from society down to the individual include Giddens’ structuration theory ( Walsham, 2002 ), and actor-network theory as discussed in the role of technology section above.”
Putting the ‘theory’ back into grounded theory: guidelines for grounded theory studies in information systems (2009, background): “Hence, in the ﬁeld of information systems, meta-theories such as structuration theory (Orlikowski & Robey, 1991; Walsham, 2002) or actor–network theory (Walsham, 1997) may be a useful lens through which to view the emergent theory.”
Offshore information systems project success: the role of social embeddedness and cultural characteristics (2009, background): “This is especially critical for offshore IS project teams that span cultural boundaries (Krishna et al. 2004; Walsham 2002).”
Challenges in Conducting Empirical Work Using Structuration Theory: Learning from IT Research (2005, background): “…and Sahay (2001); Olesen and Myers (1999); Orlikowski (1991; 1992; 1993; 1996; 2000); Orlikowski and Yates (1994); Orlikowski et al.

Review: A Review of Culture in Information Systems Research: Toward a Theory of Information Technology Culture Conflict (2006, background): “At the national level, research investigates the applicability of traditionally western-based management theories to non-Western cultures and the influence of national culture on the development and use of ICTs (Myers and Tan 2002; Straub 1994; Walsham 2002).”
