Original framework and propositions derived from the study

Perspectives	Assumptions underlying the original framework	Propositions derived from the study
The perception perspective	focuses on the adoption phase and investigates the convergence of attitudes, values and beliefs	is applicable to uncover attitudes, beliefs and values during the whole IT implementation and coevolution process
The interpretation perspective	focuses on the use phase and investigates the transfer or modification of schemas when actors interpret the features and functions of an IT system uncovers the differences in interpretation between designers and users	is applicable to uncover transfer or modification of schemas during the whole IT implementation and coevolution process, where actors also interpret organizational policies and the authority structure of an organization
The appropriation perspective	focuses on the use phase and investigates whether the actors use the features and functions of an IT system as it was designed and intended by the designers	is applicable to uncover patterns of deviations and conformity during the whole IT implementation and coevolution process, where actors also appropriate organizational policies and roles
The enactment perspective	focuses on the use phase and investigates the evolution of work practices when actors actually employ an IT system in their work	is applicable to uncover the evolution of work practices during the whole IT implementation and coevolution process
The alignment perspective	focuses on the adaptation phase and investigates how the implementation of an IT system (re)configures roles and relationships in an organization	is applicable to uncover reconfiguration of roles and relationships during the whole IT implementation and coevolution process can be applied to uncover the alignment of an IT system with organizational policies can also uncover the alignment of an IT system with different aspects of a routine as well as across routines in different organizational units
The sequence of applying the perspectives	The framework assumes an implicit sequence (from perception to alignment) of the application of five social constructivist perspectives	The prescribed sequence of the perspectives’ application is not productive, as the five perspectives are of limited support when applied in a linear fashion, but they should rather be applied as a roadmap to gain a holistic understanding of the coevolution process
