“…With ageing societies and the increase in chronic diseases, the expenditure on healthcare is ballooning -as high as 17% of the GDP in the US 3 . Thus, there is a great need for innovation in public healthcare (Scheuer, 2008) to address these pressing challenges by making use of internal and external knowledge sources. However, open innovation in healthcare is subject to several unique barriers (Reinhardt, Bullinger, & Gurtner, 2015).…”

“…We categorize the elderly-the human element-as the first actor. We define actor following Scheuer (2008) as an "actant": a living or non-living source of action (Scheuer, 2008). Following the same definition, we also categorize social ICT as an actor.…”

Researchers have identified social participation for the elderly as a salient activity that benefits their wellbeing. Along that vein, prior studies have reported that ICT use increases the extent to which the elderly participate socially with one another. However, the literature remains silent on the mechanisms by which ICT use leads to social participation. In this paper, we draw on two prominent IS theories, actor-network theory (ANT) and activity theory (AT), to develop a conceptual framework by incorporating four social participation-oriented factors: ICT use, social participation, social isolation, and loneliness. We used a quantitative approach based on the cross-sectional survey to collect data from 240 elderly people. We analyzed the data using structural equation modeling based on SmartPLS 3.0. We found that the size of the social network constituted the critical factor in the association between ICT use and social participation. The outcome of the model suggests that ICT use does not impact the social participation directly. Rather, social isolation (absence of social network) mediates the relationship between the ICT use and social participation. Additionally, loneliness, one of the commonly observed psychological states in the elderly, weakens the influence of ICT use on social isolation. Our research advances our theoretical understanding about social participation among seniors and helps governments and businesses prepare ICT plans for the elderly appropriately.

“…A more specific contribution is a specification of the models understanding of the role of translators and their criteria for choices in local organizing processes. A role which have until now been less focused upon in former research utilizing the model (Scheuer, 2003, 2008a, b). The empirical contribution of the paper is an analysis of the role of involved actors and their organizing criteria when introducing the concept of clinical pathways in a psychiatric ward.…”

PurposeTaking the model of association as a point of departure the research question asked in the paper is: what is the role of translators and their criteria for choices in the translation of clinical pathways in a psychiatric ward?Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on an explorative single case‐study. Data were collected through participative observation and document studies. A temporal bracketing approach to process studies were used where the chain of events were broken down into chronologically organized episodes and then submitted to rigorous analysis.FindingsThe case‐analysis demonstrates that the role of human translators is to construct meaningful narratives that mobilize and enrol human as well as non‐human actors. Different translation proposals and translation criteria are continuously constructed, negotiated, tested out and weighted or balanced against each other by humans through the use of narratives. The analysis also demonstrates that other actors than humans may act and influence the translation process.Originality/valueThe model of association has until now been less precise and needs development of its theorization of the role of human translators and their criteria for choices in local organizing processes. The paper contributes to this development by means of an explorative case‐study.
