Add to ORKGWe introduce activity theory and the role of contradictions as a basis for making visible the structure and dynamics of work systems. Then, by way of a case study set in a national counter-fraud agency, we demonstrate how activity theory supports an understanding of an information system in context. Finally, we show how an analysis of contradictions – which are a key element of a current formulation of activity theory and constitute opportunities for growth and development – can surface complex, interrelated issues for subsequent post-hoc evaluation
