Abstract

This chapter examines the properties of ANT in light of other approaches. It presents the theoretical and analytical inclusion of ANT in relation to other approaches. The study discusses how the properties of ANT could provide ICT researchers with a wider lens to explore the phenomena of concern. It also highlights some of the theoretical and analytical pitfalls that could be fell into at the start of the research and how a careful application of ANT could avoid it.
