Interpretative case studies IT-emner / IT topics Eric Monteiro www.idi.ntnu-no/ericm

RQ: What vs Why What Causality Explanations Why/ how Contextual Understanding ”Productivity paradox” Investment in ICT Productivity Training . . .

Ex.: Lotus Notes Statoil (1992- ) As the hull was lowered to the 99m mark, rumbling noises were heard followed by the sound of water pouring into the unit. A cell wall had failed and a serious crack had developed, and sea water poured in at a rate that was too great for the deballasting pumps to deal with. Within a few minutes the hull began sinking at a rate of 1m per minute. As the structure sank deeper into the 220m fjord, the buoyancy chambers imploded and the rubble struck the floor of the fjord creating a 3.0 magnitude record in a local seismograph station 20.000 Norne 10.000 ISO 9000 5.000 $ 1994 1996 1998

Method (1): part vs whole 25.000+ 30+ countries N organ. units…. N disciplines …

Method (2): Observation Participatory observation Legitimate role (”who are you?”) Becoming ”wall-paper” Hints for further navigation/ ”snow-balling”

Method (3): interviews General statements ”Strategicaly dumb” What about last time? Pick one instance – what about this? ”Strategicaly dumb” Triangulate with other sources Keep out of it, refer to others

Method (4): Multiple voices Multiplicity of accounts Who to listen to? Different perspectives – so what is yours? Reasonable interpretations….. Accounting (writing about) multiplicity Eliminate traces in the text? Staging/ ”validation” feed-back sessions
