Agency Theory: Integration or a Thousand Flowers?

چکیده
One of the challenges in the paper by Rose et al. (2005) is the need to build integrative theories to address the interweaving of machine and human agency. I would like to suggest, alternatively, that we should encourage a thousand theoretical flowers to bloom. I illustrate my argument using research on GIS in India.
