在信息系统中，通常将信息系统的组织设置称为“社会构建”。也就是说，组织的形式不是某种“给定”的、绝对的东西，而是由个人根据他们的目的和利益构建的。虽然这种解释在分析新的信息系统的影响方面被证明是非常有用的，例如，解释为什么会出现对变革的抵制，但很少有人考虑我们所说的“社会建构”现实的含义以及这种观点的含义是什么。哲学家约翰·塞尔在他的新书《社会现实的建构》中对这些问题进行了探讨，这本书继续应用了他经过仔细思考的观点以一种易于阅读的方式提出，并有许多例子来解释他的观点。
In information systems it is common to talk about the organisational setting of an information system as being “socially constructed”. That is, the shape of the organisation is not some “given”, absolute thing, rather it is constructed by individuals according to their purposes and interests. Whilst this interpretation has proved to be very useful in analysing the impact of new information systems, for example, explaining why resistance to change occurs, very little thought has been given to what we mean by a “socially constructed” reality and what the implications of this perspective are.Fortunately, these questions have been addressed by the philosopher John Searle in his new book on The Construction of Social Reality which continues his application of carefully considered ideas presented in an easy to read manner with many examples to explain his points.
