This important Handbook provides a unique overview of information
systems (IS) research by focusing on the increasing interest in
critical-related issues. Representing a significant step forward in
the development of critical perspectives on the IS field, the
Handbook draws together original contributions from leading authors
who offer alternatives to the current mainstream approaches to IS
research. In order to accommodate the various strands of critical
understanding, a broad range of views and theoretical standpoints
are encompassed, thereby combining theory with practical
applications, and offering a valuable source of reference for this
emerging area of research. Recent years have witnessed a more
explicit focus on critical research and, continuing in that vein,
the editors adopt an inclusive approach which considers alternative
insights that can arise from critical IS research. Topics explored
include, amongst others: * management trends and IS * flexibility,
freedom and women's emancipation * 'consuming passions' in the
global knowledge economy * critical discourse analysis for the
study of information systems * evaluation of e-governance projects
in India * rationalities and emotions in IS innovation * capital,
information technology and enterprise development * mediated work
in global business organizations. Reflecting on key themes and
emergent issues in critical information systems research, this
Handbook will be invaluable reading for both academics and
practitioners with an interest in a critical understanding of
information systems from a variety of perspectives.
