This is the first book that addresses the genesis and career of the
modern day enterprise system in a comprehensive and robust manner.
It does so through setting out a new approach for the study of
packaged solutions and presents novel empirical studies based on
in-depth ethnographic and longitudinal research conducted within
supplier organisations and other relevant sites. The authors shift
the debate within the social study of information systems, from one
that is primarily focused on 'implementation studies', to one that
follows software as it evolves, matures and crosses organisational
boundaries. Through tracing and comparing the 'biography' of a
number of software systems the authors develop a new vocabulary for
the dynamics that surround standardised software. Original in its
approach, this book draws on a number of ethnographic studies in
supplier organisations, user settings, user forums, and applies
theories from the Sociology of Technology, Technology Studies,
Innovation Studies, and beyond. As such it will be of interest
across all of these subject areas and to researchers from the wider
fields of Information Systems and Business Studies.
