19 19 IN 364.v2003.ppt, 13.10.2015 Standardization (I) Imposed - emergent ? –Ex.: ISO vs. Internet Irreversibility? –Ex.: QWERTY Key dilemma: Keep stableChange

20 20 IN 364.v2003.ppt, 13.10.2015 Problem areas ”Actant” Only micro studies ”Flat” actors Centered, drifting A grand theory of everything Design = intervention, not from scratch

21 21 IN 364.v2003.ppt, 13.10.2015 Purity and danger strong, rhetorical device! socially constructed (M Douglas) danger = impurity = fragmentation ”Infrastructures are clean - tidy, uniform”

22 22 IN 364.v2003.ppt, 13.10.2015 Fragmentation = dirt “[W]e risk that the company’s information and access get fragmented (...) The Intranet market is highly fragmented today, with a number of strong competitors fighting each other with technological as well as political means. (...) For the non-specialist, this creates the impression that Intranet technology is cheap, but it is of key importance to recognise that the Intranet technology of today has it price — they require an effort to be integrated with the existing infrastructure of the company” ((SData K/RD21, IT challenges and trends 1996 - 1999)
