ABSTRACT
In this article I will argue that innovation theory should be allowed to play a more important role than it currently does in any research into factors affecting the successful adoption of an information system by an organisation. The dictionary defines innovation as occurring whenever something new is introduced, and given that the introduction or updating of an information system in an organisation necessarily results in change in that organisation, this introduction should be considered in terms of innovation theory. There are a number of different approaches to theorising innovation, including innovation diffusion and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Rather than these commonly known approaches, this article instead describes a different approach to theorising information systems innovation, that of innovation translation, informed by Actor-Network Theory (ANT). It then offers a number of case study examples of the use of this approach and points out some of the explanatory advantages of using innovation translation.
在本文中，我會說，應該允許創新理論發揮更加重要的作用比現在將不會在任何的影響因素研究成功地通過一個信息系統的組織。這本字典的定義創新，每當發生一些新的東西引入，並考慮到引進或更新的信息系統在組織變革中的必然結果，在該組織，這應該被視為在引進方面的創新理論。有一個數字的不同方法，理論化的創新，包括創新擴散和科技接受模式（TAM）。而不是這些眾所周知的方法，本文介紹了一種不同的方法，而不是對理論化信息系統的創新，即創新的翻譯，告訴演員，網絡理論（ANT）的。然後，它提供了若干個案研究的例子使用這種方法，並指出一些解釋性優勢以創新的翻譯。
