Quel Avenir pour l’Après : la continuité d’usage des systèmes d’information collaboratifs

This research aims at examining the appropriation of a collaborative information system (IS), and more precisely users’ intentions to continue using such system. In order to understand the phenomenon of IS continuance, we analyze users’ behaviors, perceptions and their relationship with the technology with an interpretive perspective. A longitudinal case study is being conducted in order to gather users’ perceptions from the pre-implementation phase to the post-implementation phase. Data will also be collected during the post-adoption stage (six months after the system implementation). This research-in-progress presents the results of a qualitative exploratory study conducted during Winter 2011 and should contribute both to theory and practice. Indeed, IS researchers have paid scant attention to the post-adoption of collaborative systems. Furthermore, organizations still need more recommendations on how to conduct the implementation of collaborative IS.
