本解释性案例研究讨论了信息和通信技术干预对位于秘鲁安第斯山脉北部的一个偏远村庄的影响。这项探索性研究使用了一个综合的敏感框架，将人力资本、社会资本和信息和通信技术存在下的制度理论结合在一起。本文以扎根理论的方法作为分析两个村民故事的工具，描述了ICT的部署如何使两个人成为他们所在村庄与外部世界之间的关键连接者。然后，文件讨论了这些个别故事对发展中国家农村地区信息和通信技术干预的实际和潜在后果的影响。©2008威利期刊公司。
This interpretive case study discusses the implications of an information and communication technology (ICT) intervention in a remote village located in the northern Peruvian Andes. An integrated sensitizing framework, bringing together human capital, social capital, and institution theories in the presence of ICT, is used for this exploratory research. Using grounded theory method as a vehicle for the analysis of the stories of two villagers, this article describes how the ICT deployment enabled two people to act as key connectors between their village and the outside world. The paper then discusses implications of these individual stories for the actual and potential consequences of ICT interventions in rural areas in developing countries. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
