Abstract

The use of structuration theory in the field of information systems is long debated. Questions on its applicability and suitability have led to many insightful studies and papers in this area. We, in this chapter, draw on these studies and provide a complementary view on use of ST in studying IS deployment. While doing so, we draw on Giddens’s recent work and utilise telehealth implementation case study as an example.
