| Abstract: | Higher education is a sector entering an era of IT-enabled modernization in which it may have to cope with an influx of unfamiliar corporate concepts and practices. One of the first enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation projects within the academic administration of an Ivy League university is analyzed in this article. This study develops the theme of temporality within actor-network theory to support the analysis. This enables extending process-oriented ERP research by focusing on the identification of temporal zones and creation of durable work times designed to re-order priorities between competing visions for the future of higher education. |
