Fighting money laundering with technology: a case study of Bank X in the UK (2017)
Journal Article
Demetis, D. S. (2018). Fighting money laundering with technology: a case study of Bank X in the UK. Decision Support Systems, 105, 96-107. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dss.2017.11.005

This paper presents a longitudinal interpretive case study of a UK bank’s efforts to combat Money Laundering (ML) by expanding the scope of its profiling of ML behaviour. The concept of structural coupling, taken from systems theory, is used to refle... Read More about Fighting money laundering with technology: a case study of Bank X in the UK.

Taking the first step with systems theorizing in information systems : a response (2017)
Journal Article
Demetis, D. S., & Lee, A. S. (2017). Taking the first step with systems theorizing in information systems : a response. Information and Organization, 27(3), 163-170. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.infoandorg.2017.06.003

We address the commentaries of Robey and Mikhaeil, of Mingers, and of Schultze which provided responses to our paper, “Crafting theory to satisfy the requirements of systems science.” We find their responses useful for reflecting on the development o...

When humans using the IT artifact becomes IT using the human artifact (2017)
Book Chapter
Demetis, D. S., & Lee, A. S. (2017). When humans using the IT artifact becomes IT using the human artifact. In T. X. Bui, & R.

Abstract Following Lee & Demetis [20] who showed how systems theorizing can be conducted on the basis of a few systems principles, in this paper, we apply these principles to theorize about the systemic character of technology and investigate the rol...
