Towards a Socio-Technical Comprehension of IS/IT Risks
نویسندگان
چکیده
IS/IT can cause several types of risk. Traditionally, risks are analysed from a techno-scientific perspective. In these approaches, socio-technical interactions are largely ignored. This research in progress intends to explore the use of a socio-technical approach, the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), for the problem of creating knowledge about IS/IT risk. The objectives are to understand how Operational Risk (OR) knowledge/tools were constructed in the Basel Case (a worldwide effort) and to explore whether and how the ANT can contribute to greater efficacy in creating knowledge about IS/IT risk.

Background and aim: Today, it was revealed that Socio-technical systems did not have a bimodal nature and interactions in these systems are complex and non-linear. Consequently, since risks can be emerged as non-linear combinations of performance variability, so traditional methods of risk assessment are not able to capture these combinations. The present paper is aimed at identifying the eme...
متن کاملBoundaries of Socio-Technical Systems and IT for Knowledge Development in Military Environments
This article explores the boundaries of socio-technical IT systems for knowledge development, using military environments in a case study approach. The need to examine the effects of socio-technical convergence of human systems and computer systems is emerging in many fields. The article examines both the risks and the potential in military critical-environments for early adoption of socio-tech...
متن کاملAssessing ICT Security Risks in Socio-Technical Systems (Dagstuhl Seminar 16461)
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 16461 “Assessing ICT Security Risks in Socio-Technical Systems”. As we progress from classic mechanical or electrical production systems, over ICT systems, to socio-technical systems, risk assessment becomes increasingly complex and difficult. Risk assessment for traditional engineering systems assumes the systems to be dete...
متن کاملIranian EFL University Lecturers’ and Learners’ Attitude towards Using First Language as a Scaffolding Tool in Reading Comprehension
Abstract The role of EFL lecturers’ first language (L1) in the EFL courses has been an ongoing debate. A monolingual approach to EFL suggests that the use of the target language solely in foreign language (FL) classroom improves learning of the target language. Accordingly, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the attitude of Iranian lecturers and EFL learners towards using L1 as...
متن کاملThe Contribution of General High-Frequency, Core-Academic, and Academic-Technical Words to ESP Reading Comprehension
Reading is recognized as being the most important skill needed by ESP learners in their field of study, and vocabulary knowledge is the most widely discussed component of effective ESP reading per se. However, research on how much the different types of words exert substantial influences over ESP reading comprehension remains scanty. To address this lacuna, the present study aimed to examine th...
