What is the information environment (IE)?
The concept has roots in TaylorÅfs information use environment (IUE)
It was proposed in the late 1980s to incorporate a user- centered approach into the discourse on the design and use information systems
The IUE provided a contrast to system-centered approaches
It challenged the assumption that usersÅf actions are largely determined by features of the information systems with which they interact
Also that these actions can be conceptualized as predictable responses to system outputs
