Stones’ strong structuration theory (SST), a refinement of Giddens’ structuration theory, is used as the theoretical lens for studying the technology assimilation process. SST is used to analyze the structuration process at the micro-level and its impact on the structures at the meso/macro-level. In addition, actor network theory (ANT) is used to analyze the role of heterogeneous actors in altering the structures as the actor network adapts to the technological innovations and changing contexts. %G English %Z TC 8 %Z WG 8.6 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01467800/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01467800/file/978-3-642-38862-0_34_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01467800 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01467800 %~ SHS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC8 %~ IFIP-TDIT %~ IFIP-WG8-6 %~ IFIP-AICT-402
