It also aims to underline the importance of the IT implementation phase, but also the pre-implementation phase.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A four-year canonical action research project was conducted within a network of more than 300 agricultural cooperatives. Research was carried out both during the IT implementation and after deployment. Key information was gathered through unstructured and unofficial interviews, observations, field notes, meetings, focus groups, and documentary analysis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Despite user resistance behavior, the findings show that information systems (IS) implementation may lead to unexpected results that extend beyond the tool\u2019s initial objectives. Indeed, four hidden facets of the tool were revealed: inductor, symbol, pretext, and reference.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Although the research is limited to one single-case study, it puts the emphasis on in-depth research, vs cross-sectional data collection, to analyze the relationship between IT implementation initiatives and organizational intelligence. Furthermore, the authors argue that while IS literature has separately developed related theories (actor-network theory, competitive intelligence), the authors conceptualize a whole theoretic system interrelating the two above-stated theories.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The implication for IS practitioners is that, by focusing only on experiences that have occurred during IT implementation, one may disregard critical information, behaviors and knowledge from unforeseen effects that have occurred after implementation. In future IT projects, IS managers therefore need to capitalize on post-implementation knowledge, through sociology of translation and competitive intelligence, in order to anticipate potential diversions from the initial objectives. Finally, while most IT implementation methods tend naturally to manage resistance maximize users\u2019 satisfaction and to reduce potential resistance, the authors support an alternative approach. It consists into enhancing resistance in order to anticipate and resolve latent resistance behaviors directly or indirectly related to the project.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Despite widespread literature on resistance, appropriation or acceptance during IT projects, there is little research that addresses the impact of IT projects on organizational intelligence, and the kind of behaviors that lead to its failure or success. In the case, the implemented IT tool revealed hidden structural and organizational roles, which were unanticipated by IT designers and managers.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/itp-06-2016-0144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,5]],"date-time":"2018-02-05T08:59:15Z","timestamp":1517821155000},"page":"239-255","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Hidden facets of IT projects are revealed only after deployment"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Mario","family":"Saba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Bou Saba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antoine","family":"Harfouche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"key2020093022475471400_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.1016\/0749-5978(91)90020-T","article-title":"The theory of planned behavior","volume":"50","year":"1991","journal-title":"Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2020093022475471400_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"261","DOI":"10.1037\/h0076477","article-title":"A Bayesian analysis of attribution processes","volume":"82","year":"1975","journal-title":"Psychological Bulletin"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2020093022475471400_ref003","first-page":"14","article-title":"A quoi tient le succ\u00e8s des innovations.
