ALTERCASTING THEORY

-
ALTERCASTING A tactic for persuading people by forcing them in a social role, so that they will be inclined to behave according to that role. History and orientation Although the term altercasting is used quite frequently, it is not a very well-known or elaborated theory of persuasion. Core assumptions When a person accepts a certain social role, a number of social pressures are brought to bear to insure that the role is enacted.

ROLE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN ORGANIZATION CHANGE History and Orientation Adaptive Structuration Theory is based on Anthony Giddens' structuration theory. This theory is formulated as “the production and reproduction of the social systems through members’ use of rules and resources in interaction”. DeSanctis and Poole adapted Giddens' theory to study the interaction of groups and organizations with information technology, and called it  Adaptive Structuration Theory.  AST criticizes the technocentric view of technology use and emphasizes the social aspects. Groups and organizations using information technology for their work dynamically create perceptions about the role and utility of the technology, and how it can be applied to their activities. These perceptions can vary widely across groups. These perceptions influence the way how technology is used and hence mediate its impact on group outcomes. Core Assumptions and Statements AST is a viable approach for st
