Abstract
This paper introduces a research program aimed at aligning two research communities which share similar aims and research questions, but which are largely unaware of the work and the epistemological stance of the other. Both communities are concerned with the design and deployment of information systems in organizations and both recognize the mutual interdependence of these technologies and social systems. But each of these communities struggles with the nature of those interactions in different ways. It is our contention that by calling attention to the differences and similarities in approaches we maybe able to tap into a useful synergy. We hope to further the development of mid-range theories and models to help align these two epistemological stances.
