A Stakeholder Approach to Organizational IdentityAcademy of Management Review, 25
There is a need to look beyond the immediate process of implementation of computerized information systems to understand the broader social context in which the information and communication technology is being implemented. Using an interpretive approach to the implementation of a computerized health information system in a rural district in Mozambique we reconstruct an important aspect of this context from our interviews and observations—how the process of collective identity formation and information systems implementation are interconnected. Using this understanding of collective identity, we emphasize the importance of communication and shared meanings in developing and extending the primary health care network and in the successful implementation of a computerized health information system. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
