Advances in research methods for information systems research: data mining, data envelopment analysis, value focused thinking

摘要

Information systems (IS), whether for corporations or governments, have improved tremendously in recent years thanks to the cooperation between academia and industry. Therefore, it is quite a surprise that the editors of this book note "long and vigorous debates over the perceived deepening alienation of the academic discipline of information systems from practice of and technical content of information systems." As the title reveals, this book tries to provide new methods for IS research that can "bridge the communication gap between IS researchers and key stakeholders."
