ABSTRACT

At the ontological level, a sociomaterial approach which takes equivalent role to technologies and people is attractive, but in the empirical studies, how can we interpret their entanglement is an urgent issue. This article argues that comprehensive use of these theories of Actor Network Theory, Agential Realism and Multidimensional Networks will offer researchers the ability to visualize sociomaterial practice. We involved a longitudinal interpretive study in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation project in china, to show how to visualize sociomaterial practice in an ERP implementation project.
