Abstract

The third case is analyzed in this section. Subsequently another update to the theory is carried out to arrive at the 3rd Theoretical Framework, which is then assessed for saturation. The case proved exceedingly fruitful – it yielded nearly three-quarters as many ‘raw’ categories as did the foundation case. Given the advanced degree of saturation at this stage of the study, however, the larger proportion of these categories confirmed and annotated the properties of existing ones. Nevertheless, the minority of ‘new’ categories added critical value to the theory so far. For this reason, the case story is told with a sharp focus towards the areas that contribute most to the theory. Similarly, the interpretation will concentrate on the salient aspects of new theoretical contributions. Full details of the case – together with the detailed description of findings, interpretations and theorems – are, again, available from the author on demand.

The interviews from Switzerland and Austria (some 13 h) were translated from German during the coding process.
 
8
Because the inclusion of Implementation now goes outside the ‘Design’ area, the category’s name had been adjusted

In this chapter New Categories and New Sub-categories are formatted thus.

This follows the concept outlined by Porter & Millar (1985).
 
11
This new category is an extension of Global IS Design to include the implementation phase.
 
12
…in the sense of Prahalad et al. (1990).
 
13
A new derivative category.
 
14
This follows a notion first developed in Lehmann (1993, 1994a).
 
15
The paradigmatic assumption that obtaining equal Information content requires identical Application systems, running on the same Technology Infrastructure.
 
16
The ˜ operator, as in (˜ p ) for ‘the negation of p’, was first used in 1910 by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell in the first volume of Principia Mathematica (Cajori vol. 2, p. 307). However, current formal logic notation has widely replaced ∼ with the ¬ symbol. The operator is adopted here to symbolize ‘need not be equal/identical’.

A new/extended core category that defines a continuum between IS Initiative and Business Initiative as its end-points.
