Digital Policy, Regulation & Governance : Rethinking dominant theories used in information systems field in the digital platform era

Abstract
Purpose – Selecting an appropriate theory has always remained a critical task for the digital policy
researchers. The literature seems to miss providing theoretical accounts of policy view of the digital
platforms governance and offering tools for measuring the effectiveness of policies. To this end, this
paper aims to provide a critical review and comparison of dominant information systems (IS) theories
used. It highlights the weaknesses of these theories to explain technology features and actor- technology
interactions with the rising trend of digital platforms. The main argument of this research is that the
policymakers will not have adequate tools for policymaking of digital platforms by following the
assumptions of theories used dominantly in the IS field.
