10. In this thesis the theory of structuration launched by Giddens (1984) and later developed and adapted (DeSanctis & Poole 1994, Orlikowski 1992, Orlikowski 2000, Orlikowski & Robey 1991) is used as an outer framework with which to study the role of power within social systems.
11. This adapted structuration theory understands that technology enables, forms and limits the actors’ choices and actions. This should not be seen as a one-way relationship. It is the actors themselves who constitute the structures.
