TECHNOLOGICAL OBJECTS, SOCIAL POSITIONS, AND THE TRANSFORMATIONAL MODEL OF SOCIAL ACTIVITY. (MIS Quarterly, 2013)
Authors: Abstract:
    The transformational model of social activity (TMSA), in many ways the centerpiece of critical realism, has been widely used in areas of information systems research. However, little has been done so far to develop a systematic theory of the nature, position, and identity of technological objects within the context of the TMSA. Our aim in this paper is to fill this gap, paying particular attention to the important category of nonmaterial technological objects that lie at the heart of modern information systems.
