“…The requirements that emerge throughout the process of appropriation-reflected by the dashed arrows passing through the Level 2 and 3 boxes in Figure 6.1-therefore can be drawn on to support a variety of approaches. The focus on mutual adaptation suggests, however, the mTAC is particularly well suited to approaches that address the emergent nature of requirements, such as prototyping and agile systems development (Hall 2001;Surendra 2008). The tendency for people to adapt technologies to suit their needs also suggests that technologies should be designed for appropriation by making them more tailorable, malleable and flexible in order to better support technology adaptation (Carroll 2004;Hevner et al 2004;MacLean et al 1990).…”

“…Information systems development (ISD) researchers and practitioners have similarly embraced the importance of attending to the 'soft' aspects of development, by adopting user-centred design approaches such as prototyping and agile systems development in order to reduce usability problems and capture emerging user requirements (Hall 2001;Surendra 2008). This has occurred in response to the recognised constraints of the more orthodox and mechanistic ISD approaches, which construe requirements as relatively predictable and therefore limit their capture from customers to the requirements elicitation phase (Hirschheim and Klein 1989;Surendra 2008).…”

This chapter describes the application of an appropriation perspective to support the evaluation, development and design of a knowledge management system-the Army Knowledge Domain (AKD) prototype-in the Australian Army. The AKD prototype was developed using an iterative approach informed by a modified form of the technology appropriation cycle (TAC). The TAC is a model that represents the process of appropriation through which technology is adopted, adapted and incorporated with personal, social and organisational practices, and describes how an understanding of users' appropriation choices can inform the design of future iterations of the system and supporting context. Results from the evaluation presented in this chapter have informed the next iterative development step for the AKD prototype. The utility of employing the modified TAC to support the evaluation, development and design of systems is then explored, including the support that the model provides to an expanded view of technology design.

“…The media attributes indicated are the ability of the media to represent the reality (Hallbeck et al, 2010;Steinfeld, 2004;Watkins et al, 2008) and the possible actions the media support (Broberg et al, 2011;Steinfeld, 2004). Within the interaction design field, these attributes are recognized as fidelity (Hall, 2001;Lim et al, 2008) and affordance (Norman, 2002;Turner, 2005). Fidelity may be defined as "the level of detail or sophistication of what is manifested" (Lim et al, 2008).…”

Current application of work system simulation in participatory ergonomics (PE) design includes a variety of different simulation media. However, the actual influence of the media attributes on the simulation outcome has received less attention. This study investigates two simulation media: full-scale mock-ups and table-top models. The aim is to compare, how the media attributes of fidelity and affordance influence the ergonomics identification and evaluation in PE design of hospital work systems. The results illustrate, how the full-scale mock-ups' high fidelity of room layout and affordance of tool operation supports ergonomics identification and evaluation related to the work system entities space and technologies & tools. The table-top models' high fidelity of function relations and affordance of a helicopter view supports ergonomics identification and evaluation related to the entity organization. Furthermore, the study addresses the form of the identified and evaluated conditions, being ether identified challenges or tangible design criteria.
