Research in IT: seminars 1 and 2 notes

For the class on Research in IT (Seminars 1 and 2), pls pay attention to the following notes:

Seminar 1 tasks:
I make use of Saunders et al (edition 5) and provide the following questions for review:
  • Question 4.3: "Why are the radical paradigms relevant in business  and management research given that most managers would say that the purpose of organisational investigation is to develop recommendations  for action to solve problems without radical change?"
  • Question 4.4: "You have chosen to undertake your research project following the deductive approach. What factors may cause you to work inductively, although working deductively is your preferred choice?"

On the topic of Information Systems as a subject and as a discipline, pls refer to:
