Abstract

It is argued here that many of the ideas behind diffusion are remnants of European colonialism. As such they reflect a power imbalance in the relationships between users and traditional IS developers that we would be well-advised to rethink in favour of more participative and democratic design and development processes. © 2001 by Springer Science+ Business Media New York.
