Toe-eigening van ICT door kleinschalige ondernemers: een interpretatieve analyse van adoptie en gebruik
- Jo Pierson
Abstract
The paper explores the specificity of appropriation, i.e. adoption and usage of information and communication technology (ICT) by small-scale entrepreneurs. Starting from an interpretative viewpoint we design a functional classification of ICT based on “transaction-oriented’ and ‘knowledge-oriented’ use. The internal and external factors that could enable and constrain these uses are highlighted. To illustrate this approach we explore the appropriation of Internet services in the case of public accountants in Flanders. Our goal is to indicate how technological and economic aspects of ICT appropriation are socially embedded.
