This research project began with a literature review of IS project management theories which aimed to explore and describe the as-lived experience of practitioners in an IS project network. The study builds on this body of knowledge by providing a narrative of as-lived experiences of IS project participants. The study involved a cross-sectional study of two IS projects cases from two countries in sub-Saharan Africa, namely, Malawi and South Africa. Information was collected and analysed qualitatively using Actor-network Theory. Unstructured interviews were the main data gathering technique supplemented with secondary data and observations. Most interviews were audio recorded. All interviews were transcribed before analysis. 2014-07-31T12:19:00Z 2014-07-31T12:19:00Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MCom http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5668 eng application/pdf Department of Information Systems Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
