LARS TAXÉN | RESEARCHER & CONSULTANT
Ongoing work
Here are some topics I am currently working on:

Information Systems
Elaborating my ECIS'2015 contribution into a journal paper.

Linguistics
Elaborating my ideas of the communicational infrastructure into a journal contribution.

Design science
Revising this rejected paper.

Organizational science
Possibly writing a paper with the activity domain as the Unit of Analysis for organizational
inquiries, and modeling the organization as an "organizational anatomy" based on the
System Anatomy idea of how to conceive of complex systems

Enterprise Architectures
Another go on trying to get a conference paper accepted about using the activity domain as a
foundation for doing enterprise architecture work (see also this presentation).

Neuroscience
I believe that the ideas of the activity modalities may be interesting for neuroscientific
researches interested in articulating the social realm other than as "world". Such a paper
would be a revised version of this rejected paper.

A new book
In 2009 I published the book "Using the Activity Domain Theory for Managing Complex
Systems" Since then, the "domain of discourse" (Toulmin 1953) of the theory has been
broadened, and articulated further. The new book would essentially bring contributions to the
various topics into a coherent volume.
