An understanding of the practices where individuals can take place necessitates the study of the text and talk in historically and discursively produced contexts. Discourses are seen as an interrelated set of texts with practices of production, dissemination and reception that bring an object into being (Parker, 1999). This theoretical perspective is used to study how individuals access different discourses in order to generate new meanings that help the enactment of particular strategies (Hardy et al. 2000). The historical dimension is essential (Hardy et al., 2000; Wodak, 2001) as actors cannot simply produce “adoption-discourses” to suit their own immediate needs but rather must locate and derive meaningful activities within their historical context if they want to create new forms of actions leading to adoption of a particular information system.
