In my view this is not satisfactory. I believe it is constructive to analyze the set
of problems from an institutional perspective. New interpretive schemes have to be
invented, but that must be done within the existing structure of signification, domination
and legitimization. One strong feature of the ANT is to focus on the process of
negotiation in reaching an alignment of interests by establishing a socio-technical
network. On the other hand, the structuration theory points to the relation between the
actors and the institutional context in which they operate in the negotiation process. One
can say that the institutional values and interests that the administrative leadership tried to
inscribe were too biased towards their own logic as far as efficiency and effectiveness
were concerned, and relied too much on the formal authority given to them by the overall
institutional system. On the other hand it did not work because the actors were
unsuccessful in creating a new practice that could handle the prevailing contradictory
values and interests. It was too concerned with getting quantitative data about the
organization as a production entity and not enough concerned with the problem of
creating a new practice, which in a more constructive way would be able to handle the
relations between the administrative leadership and the actors at the grass-roots level.
