Materiality and change: Challenges to building better theory about technology and organizing (2008, background): “Partially because scholars have spent nearly 30 years battling the tenants of technological determinism, the role of materiality in organizational change remains understudied (Orlikowski, 2007; Suchman, 2007).”
Large image datasets: A pyrrhic win for computer vision? (2020, background): “Decades of work within the fields of Science and Technology Studies (STS) and the Social Sciences show that there is no single straightforward solution to most of the wider social and ethical challenges that we have discussed [5, 28, 99].”
Situating methods in the magic of Big Data and AI (2018, background): “The aspect worth consideration is not so much that we are willing to attribute agency to non-human entities, but rather, what kinds of agency and with what expectations do such attributions emerge (Suchman, 2007)?”
FROM WOMEN AND TECHNOLOGY TO GENDERED TECHNOSCIENCE (2007, background): “There is increasing recognition that the development of effective ICTs requires detailed knowledge of the sites and practices in and through which the new technologies will literally be made to work (Suchman 2007).”
Understanding the Role of Objects in Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration (2012, background): “Latour is only one of many contributors to a now large body of work which, according to Suchman (2007), provides compelling empirical demonstrations of ‘how capacities for action can be reconceived on foundations quite different from those of a humanist preoccupation with the individual actor…”
Transparent to whom? No algorithmic accountability without a critical audience (2018, background): “Conflicting perspectives on this issue exist (Betancourt, 2017; Faulkner & Runde, 2013; Knoespe & Zhu, 2008; Leonardi, 2010; Suchman, 2007), but the intimate connection between immaterial digital objects”
The ‘performativity thesis’ and its critics: Towards a relational ontology of management accounting (2014, background): “…sense that it brings a re-presentationalist mode of accounting and accountability into life, thus obscuring the status of RBA ‘as itself a form of culturally and historically situated activity, manifested in specific practices and associated artifacts’ (Suchman 2007, p. 187, Keevers et al. 2012).”
The Next Generation of Research on IS Use: A Theoretical Framework of Delegation to and from Agentic IS Artifacts (2021, background): “2006; Latour 2005), sociomateriality (Suchman 2002; Suchman 2007), and agent-based computing (Brenner et al.”
Understanding Relations of Individual—Collective Learning in Work: A Review of Research (2008, background): “Issues of agency in the individual–collective relationship perhaps deserve more particular exploration, as Suchman (2007) shows in her examinations of work activity: How and where is agency produced?, she asks.”
Service Innovation in the Digital Age: Key Contributions and Future Directions (2015, background): “Orlikowski and Scott, in the their article “The Algorithm and the Crowd: Considering the Materiality of Service Innovation,” draw from the rich literature on practice theories and the emerging theorizations of sociomateriality (Barad 2003; Orlikowski 2007; Orlikowski and Scott 2008; Scott and Orliko”
Theorizing Practice and Practicing Theory (2011, background): “…by science and technology scholars, for example, Callon (1986), Latour (1987, 2005), Knorr Cetina (1997), Pickering (1995), Pinch (2008), and Suchman (2007) — has articulated the consequential role played by nonhumans such as natural objects and technological artifacts in producing social…”
Science friction: Data, metadata, and collaboration (2011, methodology): “Our line of reasoning here resembles the classic analyses of plans and situated action by Lucy Suchman (1987, 2007), and Phil Agre and David Chapman (1990).”
Pragmatist perspectives on valuation : an introduction (2015, methodology): “Rejecting a methodological individualism and a methodological institutionalism, we adopt a methodological situationalism (Suchman 2007; Latour and Woolgar 1986; Esser 1996; Knorr-Cetina 1981; Stark 2009: 31–33 and 185).”
