Revisiting Critical Systems Thinking
Critical systems thinking (CST) is a holistic framework that has proven instrumental in understanding and addressing complex problems across various domains, including social, environmental, and economic systems. Despite its longstanding reputation for fostering a comprehensive approach, its limitations in effectively addressing contemporary sustainability issues necessitate a critical reassessment. This paper aims to explore the CST paradox, rec…
Understanding the technical and social paradoxes of learning management systems usage in higher education
The recent COVID‐19 pandemic has created an unprecedentedly complex situation and wicked problem in the education domain. This has forced educators and learners to study from home using unfamiliar pedagogical typologies and technologies in order to adapt to the new work routine. This research contributes to theory and practice by adopting a sociotechnical approach (STS) to understand the technical and social implications of learning management sy…
Performing projects with constant connectivity
The broad view of projectification and the broader perspective on constant connectivity have produced insights that question the conventional wisdom. However, how project practices are mediated by constant connectivity is under‐explored and under‐theorized. We conduct a case study of the interplay between consulting project work practices and constant connectivity to address this gap. Our findings point to three potential insights. First, we high…

It was originally defined to take into account the human and organisational aspects of information systems development, as the alternative methodologies of the time–and most since that time–took a very technology-oriented approach. Furthermore, it is a contingency approach, and …
