IT and Organizational Change
Holmstrom's early work examined the interaction between information technology and organizations. Prior research often assumed information technology to be either an objective, external force with deterministic impacts on organizations, or the outcome of social action. Holmstrom's research suggested that either view is incomplete, and he proposed to take both perspectives into account. Drawing from actor-network theory as analytical lens, Holmstrom has explored the role of IT in contexts such as municipal organizations, airports, and digital cash projects. In these studies, Holmstrom stressed the notion of non-human agency in which processes, technological tools and other similar concepts can be viewed as non-human actors that acquire an identity of their own.[citation needed]
