“…() build on Latour's model of translation to conceptualize translation as a process whereby spreading constructs acquire elements of difference, resulting from contextual forces working upon them, and leading to the diffusion process being ‘ same, same, but different ’ (Sahay et al . , p. 295; italics in original). Similarly, Jensen et al .…”

Translation theory has proved to be a versatile analytical lens used by scholars working from different traditions. On the basis of a systematic literature review, this study adds to understanding of the 'translations' of translation theory by identifying the distinguishing features of the most common theoretical approaches to translation within the organization and management discipline: actor-network theory, knowledge-based theory and Scandinavian institutionalism. Although each of these approaches already has borne much fruit in research, the literature is diverse and somewhat fragmented, but also overlapping. The authors discuss the ways in which the three versions of translation theory may be combined and enrich each other so as to inform future research, thereby offering a more complete understanding of translation in and across organizational settings.

“…Furthermore, we contribute by illustrating three important dynamics of national ICT ecosystem. First, we argue that the evolution occurs in small and incremental steps, and build upon the notion of circulating translations which describes how with each step of the evolution “… new socio‐technical configurations are created which not only shape subsequent steps, but also redefine the content of the artifact” (Sahay, Sæbø, & Braa, , p. 294). Second, we posit that as ICTs are integrated, the ecosystem system has to co‐adapt beyond the technical level.…”

The ICT ecosystem is a new and emerging concept which suggests that ICTs should not be viewed as technical systems in insolation, but rather as a part of a wider network that takes into account non-technical dynamics, being socio-economic, political, spatial, and such. Nguyen, Nielsen, and Saebø (2017) have conceptualized the national ICT ecosystem which adequately describes the socio-technical components surrounding an ICT embedded within a country. However, their conceptualization is merely a static description of the ecosystems' components without sufficient description of their dynamics. Based on a case study of a health management information system and its surrounding ecosystem in Tanzania, we contribute by identifying three dynamics of national ICT ecosystems: (1) evolution occurring in small and incremental steps;(2) co-adaption in the ecosystem following integrations between ICTs; and (3) ICTs being integrated due to perceived network effects.

“…Durante a implantação, constata-se que o sucesso do E-Hosp foi uma hipótese formulada pelos Analistas de Sistema, a qual foi submetida a diversos testes e negociações, à medida que foram introduzidos dispositivos de "Interessamento" no projeto. Assim, pode-se observar, na Figura 4, que o processo de tradução (Callon, 1986) (Braa et al, 2004;Sahay et al, 2013;Sheikh & Braa, 2011 Na literatura científica brasileira e da América Latina sobre SI, os estudos baseados na ANT registram, em detalhes, as diversas operações heterogêneas associadas ao desenvolvimento e implantação de SI (Andrade & Urquhart, 2010;Cavalheiro & Joia, 2014;Teles & Joia, 2011). Este estudo vai ao encontro desses trabalhos precedentes, ao evidenciar que na saúde, assim como em outras áreas, a complexidade sociotécnica dos SI também se faz presente.…”

Reassembling the actor-network in the deployment of a health information system Remontando la red de actores en la implantación de un sistema de información en salud RESUMOEste trabalho, baseando-se na Teoria Ator-Rede, visa analisar a implantação de um sistema de informação em saúde (SIS) em um hospital público brasileiro, seguindo os atores envolvidos nas controvérsias ocorridas durante a trajetória do projeto. As mudanças observadas durante a implantação do sistema revelam que a noção de sucesso foi construída coletivamente, por meio da negociação de dispositivos de "interessamento" introduzidos durante o projeto.PALAVRAS-CHAVE | Sistemas de informação em saúde, Teoria Ator-Rede, administração pública, governo eletrônico, tecnologia da informação. ABSTRACT This paper, based on the Actor-Network Theory, intends to analyze the dynamics of implementation of a Health Information System (HIS) in a Brazilian public hospital by following the actors involved in controversies occurred throughout the project trajectory. The changes observed over the course of the system implementation reveal that the concept of success was jointly developed via negotiation of devices of interessement introduced during the project.
