An interpretive perspective
• People affect performance
• IS can add or diminish their contribution
• Systems failure usually because managers ignored human aspects
• Recall Figure 1.6 (repeated as 8.1) which showed contextual factors – especially internal
• People interpret these subjectively

Design can replace or complement skills
• Replacement makes people psychologically distant and less able to contribute
• Complementarity adds informationdevelops interest, more able to contribute

Using the STS approach(Eason 2007)
• Study work as a socio-tech system
• Understand the ambitions of local stakeholders
• Create local planning teams of relevant stakeholders
• Implications of externally-developed systems for local system
• Design new system that exploits IS and meets local ambitions
• Use action research to learn from doing
