Abstract: | The main contribution of Hirschheim, Klein and Lyytinen's well-structured and significant paper is the idea of a federated framework for information systems development and its research based on the social action theories of Habermas and Etzioni. This comment presents the most essential reasons for reformating the Etzioni dimension for its adoption into the framework: the matrix of object systems classes. The most essential changes concern the human actor as the ontological subject/object in ISD and its research, and the inclusion of actors in all the categories of differential malleability in the domains of change. |
