Brazilian Administration Review %D 2012 %I ANPAD - Associa??o Nacional de P¨®s-Gradua??o e Pesquisa em Administra??o %R 10.1590/S1807-76922012000300004 %X in this paper we present a multilevel and pluralistic conceptual framework that is particularly useful for brazilian researchers investigating information and communication technology (ict) based social changes from a community/societal level of analysis. the framework is influenced by three theoretical perspectives: social shaping of technology, structurationist view of technology and contextualism. it integrates four main concepts - relevant social groups, interpretive frames, negotiation and technology-in-practice - organized in terms of three dimensions - context, process and content. the framework, already applied to 12 different research projects led by brazilian scholars during the last four years, is seen as a work in permanent transformation and open to reuse, revision, remix and constant revalidation. %K multilevel framework %K brazilian context %K ict and society %K information system research %K social technology. %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1807-76922012000300004&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
