Mechanisms of power inscription intoITgovernance: Lessons from two national digital identity systems
研究了丹麦和英国数字身份系统中权力关系如何影响IT治理安排，识别出权力培育和权力限制两种机制，对理解IT治理中的政治过程有帮助。
Abstract Establishing IT governance arrangements is a deeply political process, where relationships of power play a crucial role. While the importance of power relationships is widely acknowledged in IS literature, specific mechanisms whereby the consequences of power relationships affect IT governance arrangements are still under‐researched. This study investigates the way power relationships are inscribed in the governance of digital identity systems in Denmark and the United Kingdom, where public and private actors are involved. Drawing on the theoretical lens of circuits of power, we contribute to research on the role of power in IT governance by identifying two distinct mechanisms of power inscription into IT governance: power cultivation and power limitation.
