“…In contrast to the first two areas of IOS research, studies of IOS consequences use a broad array of theories. These include the resource-based view of the firm (Barney, 1991), organizational information processing (Tushman & Nadler, 1978), resource dependence (Pfeffer & Salancik, 1978), social network theory (Powell, 1990), population ecology (Hannan & Freeman, 1989), political economy (Benson, 1975), organizational learning (Argyris & Schon, 1978), relational exchange theory (Heide, 1994), institutional theory (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983), structuration theory (Giddens, 1984), and stakeholder salience theory (Mitchell, Agle, & Wood, 1997). The relationships examined are shown in Figure 4.…”

This paper guides the theoretical development of future research on interorganizational systems (IOS). We first assess past IOS research by reviewing and summarizing the findings of 51 empirical studies of IOS published in 11 IS journals between 1990 and 2003. This literature addresses three primary issues: (1) factors influencing organizational decisions to adopt IOS; (2) the impact of IOS on governance over economic transactions; and (3) the organizational consequences of IOS adoption. From our assessment of the findings and theoretical approaches taken in past research, we offer three recommendations for future research. First, the theoretical foundations of IOS research during this period are diverse, representing 17 different yet complementary theories. We recommend that researchers continue to diversify their theoretical approaches in order to address new research challenges. Second, we recommend that IOS researchers move beyond mere descriptions of IOS artifacts by engaging with IOS artifacts on theoretical grounds. Third, we identify and describe new theoretical directions for future IOS research in each of the main issue areas.

“…It must be stressed however that the proposed protocol shares with existing participatory frameworks a variety of potential risks, including the potential for resulting in a costly and time consuming process, generating stakeholder frustration, identifying and bringing new conflicts to the surface, involving stakeholders that are not relevant to the issue addressed, ignoring individual and relative levels of power within the group of participating stakeholders, etc. (Armah et al, 2009;Luyet et al, 2012;Mitchell et al, 1997), which can largely influence the outcomes of a participatory process (De Vente et al, 2016;Reed et al, 2009;Rowe and Frewer, 2005). Furthermore, land management decision-making is influenced by many situational factors such as financial resources, land tenure, and social norms, so that high level of knowledge and positive attitude alone did not always result in behavior change (Kong et al, 2014;Leeuwis, 2000).…”

a b s t r a c tThe adoption of sustainable land management strategies and practices that respond to current climate and human pressures requires both assessment tools that can lead to better informed decision-making and effective knowledge-exchange mechanisms that facilitate new learning and behavior change. We propose a learning-centered participatory approach that links land management assessment and knowledge exchange and integrates science-based data and stakeholder perspectives on both biophysical and socio-economic attributes. We outline a structured procedure for a transparent assessment of land management alternatives, tailored to dryland management, that is based on (1) principles of constructivism and social learning, (2) the participation of stakeholders throughout the whole assessment process, from design to implementation, and (3) the combination of site-specific indicators, identified by local stakeholders as relevant to their particular objectives and context conditions, and science-based indicators that represent ecosystem services of drylands worldwide. The proposed procedure follows a pattern of eliciting, challenging, and self-reviewing stakeholder perspectives that aims to facilitate learning. The difference between the initial baseline perspectives and the final self-reviewed stakeholder perspectives is used as a proxy of learning. We illustrate the potential of this methodology by its application to the assessment of land uses in a Mediterranean fire-prone area in East Spain. The approach may be applied to a variety of socio-ecological systems and decision-making and governance scales.
