Although many researchers and practitioners claim to have used or been in uenced by activity theory in their work (see, for example, Nardi, 1996), it is often dif cult to trace precisely where or how the results have actually been shaped by activity theory.

Contributing to the lack of precise and traceable impact is that activity theory, - spite its name, is not truly a formal and proper theory. 398 pp. Englisch.…
