Enacting Research Methods in Information Systems: Volume 1
Author: Leslie P. Willcocks
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319292668
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
This 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.

A Practical Guide to Mixed Research Methodology
Author: Farhad Daneshgar PhD
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN:
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
This 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.

Opportunities, use, and transfer of systems research methods in agriculture to developing countries
Author: Goldsworthy
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401107645
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
In December 1993, ISNAR, in collaboration with International Consortium for Application of Systems Approaches, organized a three-day workshop on systems approaches and modelling for agricultural development. Sponsored by the Dutch Ministry for Development Cooperation, the workshop was attended by participants from 12 national agricultural research systems (NARS), nine international agricul tural research centers (lARCs), and five advanced research organizations (AROs). Although application of systems approaches in agricultural research and resource management is a rather new field, there is already increasing demand for implemen tation of these approaches. This will require a critical mass of specialists in the NARS and IARCs. Before this critical mass can be obtained, however, the experience that has been gained in this area needs to be evaluated, further possibilities need to be explored, and new objectives and targets need to be set. This book, which contains the papers presented at the workshop, assesses the state of the art of systems approaches in agricultural research, resource management, and rural planning. It also gives an impression of the evolution of this interdisciplinary field and its use in national and international research centers. Another, less tangible, outcome of the workshop was its contribution toward strengthening the network of NARS, lARCs, and AROs. It gave participants and organizers a chance to develop contacts, and provided an opportunity to make the first proposals for collaborative programs. Special thanks are due to Peter Goldsworthy and Luc Boerboom for their crucial role in making the workshop a success in this regard.
