Last week's supervision indicated that I need to have a theory to model my stuff on. I'd mentioned someone else's use of agency theory, but am also looking at actor-network theory because Czarniawska talks about it being a constructionist theory.
Czarniawska, B. (2001) Shadowing: and other techniques for doing field work in modern societies.
This blog is of doctoral study at the Open University Business School (OUBS)in the UK, of how public organisations work with their external third party suppliers on IT projects. The research aims to investigate how engagement contributes and influences relationships between clients and consultants and if engagement helps deliver value to a project.
