dc.description.abstractThis research project began with a literature review of IS project management theories which aimed to explore and describe the as-lived experience of practitioners in an IS project network. The study builds on this body of knowledge by providing a narrative of as-lived experiences of IS project participants. The study involved a cross-sectional study of two IS projects cases from two countries in sub-Saharan Africa, namely, Malawi and South Africa. Information was collected and analysed qualitatively using Actor-network Theory. Unstructured interviews were the main data gathering technique supplemented with secondary data and observations. Most interviews were audio recorded. All interviews were transcribed before analysis.en_ZA
