Tiwana 2018 investigated the effects of apps internal structure (monolithicity) and external structure (modularity), and the mediator effect of platform synergy on apps’ competitive lead. This research focus is […]

Black et al. (2004) utilized ground theory by investigating two cases to develop a theory to explain the underlying reason for the implementation of new ITs often disrupts occupational roles in ways that delay the […]

Sein et al. (2011) proposed to combine action research (AR) with design research (DR) to consider both technological rigors and organizational relevance when designing IT artifacts. The proposed method can combine […]

Eisenhardt (1989) proposed detailed steps of building theories based on case studies. The detailed steps are getting started/selecting cases/crafting instruments and protocols/entering the field/analyzing […]

The three papers I read are about sociomaterial property of IT at work, information goods bundling, and digital object theorization. Those three papers seem to talk about different things. In the first paper, the […]

Prof. Nan proposed a theoretical framework of building a complex adaptive system (CAS) in the process of the bottom-up IT use process. She also utilized a case study and agent-based simulation model to show and […]

Andrew’s paper about understanding system usage in organizations from a multilevel perspective summarized two motivations of adopting multilevel research: avoiding significant fallacies that can occur in […]

The first paper I read comes from Dr. Straub when he was the MISQ-EIC in 2012. In this paper. Detmar utilized many theories such as TAM and task-technology fit theory to refute the assertation that IS discipline […]

In the past week, I read the two assigned papers about the opportunities and challenges for information systems (IS) research under the era of big data and the soiotechnical aspect of the IS discipline.
