This dissertation examines ICTs and their role in development. It explores a single case study of a rural Multi-Purpose Community Centre in South Africa in an attempt to gain a richer understanding of the issues surrounding the implementation of such centres. The study is socio-technical in nature and is based on a framework composed of interpretivism, hermeneutics and the actor-network theory. Key issues explored include: the affect of ICTs on the emergence of a local champion; the struggle of creating active participants in a project of this nature; and the usefulness of replication models in guiding implementations. 2014-07-31T12:17:40Z 2014-07-31T12:17:40Z 2004 Master Thesis Masters MCom http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5654 eng application/pdf Department of Information Systems Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
