Abstract
In response to the invitation to participate in the honorary publication to Jörg Becker, I am very pleased to share my perspective on the role that information systems play in structuring organizational attention. My contribution goes with great gratitude for the warm reception of the University of Minho in the ERCIS network; I am particularly grateful for the support I have always received from Jörg Becker and that has inspired me to dare more in my international endeavours. It is indeed true what Isaac Newton once said … we can only see further when we have the privilege of standing on the shoulders of giants!
