Subject: Summary of Responses of Literature about ANT applied to IS/IT Strategic Planning. Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2002 11:26:45 +0600 From: Manuel Mora mmorauaa@securenym.net To: ISWORLD@LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
Dear colleagues:
Last week I submit to ISWorldList a query about literature about ANT applied
to IS/IT Strategic Planning. The original query was:
On behalf of a master thesist, I really appreciate pointers
to literature about ANT (Actors networking theory) applied to understand the IS/IT Strategic Planning process. Thanks in advance
I am present below a summary of responses. Thanks to contributors for kind answers. Sincerely. Manuel Mora. Associate Professor Dept. of Information Systems Universidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes www.uaa.mx

Enclosed link to Lancaster's ANT resource page, and to Hanseth/Monteiro's book on Information Infrastructures.
I would be interested in more ANT rsources.

From: "Vladislav V. Fomin" vvfomin@umich.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi!
I think Ciborra will have a good number of works on this topic. I have one his article in hand:
Claudio Ciborra (1999). Notes on improvization and time in organizations. Accting., Mgmt. & Info. Tech. 9, 77-94
If you study the references in this article you'll find more of what can be of interest to you.
We also have one unfinished work here, which can give a good insight on how ANT can be applied to strategic planning and project implementation. Let me know if you are interested.
Sincerely
Wlad ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Response 3. From: "Johnston, Robert" RobertJ@staff.dis.unimelb.edu.au Attachments: distrib-2.pdf ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

From: "Ben Light" b.light@salford.ac.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manuel,
I'm no expert in this area, but I do know of a book by Ciborra et. al. which may be off some use. The chapters by Eric Monteiro, Ole Hanseth and Kristin Braa mention it explicitly and there are probably other parts which do too - it's been a while since I looked at it. The reference for the book is:
Ciborra, C. et. al. (2000) From Control to Drift: The Dynamics of Corporate Information Infrastructures, Oxford University Press, Oxford. ISBN 0-19-829734-3
Hope this helps,

my working paper (http://is.lse.ac.uk/wp/pdf/WP98.PDF) has lots of references to ACTOR NETWORK THEORY - i would recommend also the following seminal texts for Information Systems researchers.

Dear colleagues:
Hello Manuel,
On behalf of a master thesist, I really appreciate pointers to literature about ANT (Actors networking theory) applied to understand the IS/IT Strategic Planning process. Thanks in advance.
There should be at least one paper on this topic at: http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~ericm/ericm.publik.htm
Sincerely. Manuel Mora
Hope this helps a little.
Cheers, Kai. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
