Editing Implementation (section)

==Critique of the Premise of Implementation==
[[Social Science|Social scientific]] research on implementation also takes a step away from the project oriented at implementing a plan, and turns the project into an object of study. [[Lucy Suchman]]'s work has been key, in that respect, showing how the [[engineering]] model of plans and their implementation cannot account for the [[Situated cognition|situated action and cognition]] involved in real-world practices of users relating to plans:<ref name="Suchman1987">{{Cite book|title=Plans and situated actions: The problem of human-machine communication|last=Suchman|first=Lucy|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=1987|isbn=9780521337397|location=Cambridge MA}}</ref> that work shows that a plan cannot be specific enough for detailing everything that successful implementation requires. Instead, implementation draws upon implicit and tacit resources and characteristics of users and of the plan's components.
