Wireless Systems Development Methodologies: An Analysis of Practice Using Actor Network Theory

There is a view that the structure of systems development on innovative projects is very different from that of traditional information systems projects (28). This calls for new systems development methodologies tailored to the specific needs of the current development environment. This paper uses the concepts of Actor Network Theory (ANT) to interpret the events that led to the turning around of a failing systems development methodology to success at the mobile application and development center. This paper uses ANT concepts to provide a richer understanding of complexities involved in wireless systems development from a social technical perspective.
