DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis edited three volume edition brings together significant papers previously published in the Journal of information Technology (JIT) over its 30 year publication history. The three volumes of Enacting Research Methods in Information Systems celebrate the methodological pluralism used to advance our understanding of information technology's role in the world today. In addition to quantitative methods from the positivist tradition, JIT also values methodological articles from critical research perspectives, interpretive traditions, historical perspectives, grounded theory, and action research and design science approaches. Volume 1 covers Critical Research, Grounded Theory, and Historical Approaches. Volume 2 deals with Interpretive Approaches and also explores Action Research. Volume 3 focuses on Design Science Approaches and discusses Alternative Approaches including Semiotics Research, Complexity Theory and Gender in IS Research. The Journal of Information Technology (JIT) was started in 1986 by Professors Frank Land and Igor Aleksander with the aim of bringing technology and management together and bridging the ‘great divide’ between the two disciplines. The Journal was created with the vision of making the impact of complex interactions and developments in technology more accessible to a wider audience. Retaining this initial focus, the JIT has gone on to extend into new and innovative areas of research such as the launch of JITTC in 2010. A high impact journal, JIT shall continue to publish leading trends based on significant research in the field.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis textbook will delve into the philosophical foundation of contemporary IS research design with particular emphasis on the methodological tools that can be applied to conduct effective research in the multidisciplinary area of contemporary IS. What sets the book apart is that it will cover the current social paradigm shift, global changes and the need for new methodological tools, which have revolutionised the way we use IS to support our daily practices. It considers the entire methodological procedures applied to research projects that investigate or explore multifaceted areas of contemporary IS, such as information management, digital business, ICT and information science. Featuring learning objectives, case studies, assessment questions and exercises, this textbook offers a practical outline for IS research methodology that will be of use to students and researchers. It aims to satisfy researchers who are seeking literature on applying methodological procedures to their research projects that delve into the world of contemporary IS that other titles have only considered in a much broader sense.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book offers a practical guide to mixed method research highlighting aspects of research design, execution, and analysis under various perspectives and research traditions. These are provided in clear and readable prose with a strong focus on practicality, and at the same time, without resorting to oversimplification. In creating this book the author has used many research papers in various disciplines that had focused on both practical and theoretical aspects of MMR. During the quiet two years of Covid era and subsequent refreshment follow up year, the author managed to identify relevant articles and many case studies that reveal various theoretical and practical aspects of the MMR with the aim of helping post graduate students and supervisors to manage their research projects. Among the explored themes were several categories of MMR topics that satisfy both practicality and comprehensiveness requirements of the book. These categories in turn guided the author towards identifying relevant and useful case studies that complement the theoretical side of the book. These case studies are expected to help the reader in better understanding of various contexts that the MMR methodology has been used in the near past.
