Slide 6 of 20
Notes:
Our study of the operations room led us to a substantial reconceptualization of the construct "information system." Rather than a network of computer-based workstations in which information is stored, we observed an array of partial, heterogeneous devices brought together into coherent assemblages on particular occasions of work. To be made useful, these devices needed to be juxtaposed and read in relation both to each other and to an unfolding situation.
