Abstract

Power issues impact information systems design, development, and implementation. Our understanding of the sources of power affects how we interpret its potential impacts. This study examines the foundations of both personal and structural power sources. The outcomes of two well-known IS case studies are re-interpreted using the two perspectives. This study shows that IS researchers should employ a structural view of power when exploring its impact on IS design and implementation.
