[ID#] 49 [Author(s)] Laurence Brookes [Abstract] Structuration theory, as developed by Giddens (1990), has been then appropriated by a range of researchers (Lyytinen and Ngwenyama 1992, DeSanctis and Poole 1994, Karsten 1995a/b, Walsham and Sahay 1996, Brooks 1997, Jones 1999, Braa and Hedberg 2002, Walsham 2002) to investigate and decipher the implications of the development and use of information systems within organisations. This paper will briefly review the theoretical background to Structuration theory, establish the framework in which it might be used with information systems and then explore the practical or more pragmatic approach that might qualify this as a �useful� approach. Ultimately it might best serve as a sensitising framework, but it might just be that by combining with other theoretical frameworks (such as Actor Network Theory), that Structuration theory might just provide the basis for a crucial central theory within the information systems field.
