Given the pervasive nature of information technology and
information systems in the modern world, the design and development
of IS and IT are critical issues of concern. New research topics
continuously emerge in tandem with the latest developments in
technology-E-Business, Knowledge Management, Business Process
Reengineering, for example. However, when the initial flurry of
research abates and the "gloss" of these areas has diminished
somewhat, as it inevitably does, the enduring core issue remains as
to how to develop systems to fully exploit these new areas. Both
information systems and information technology are interpreted
fairly broadly in this book. Of particular interest to the editors
were research studies that facilitate an understanding of the role
and impact of information technology on society, organizations, and
individuals, and which strive to improve the design and use of
information systems in that context. The contributions to the book
are categorized into four broad themes. First is the core issue of
developing information systems in the current environment. In this
section several fundamental challenges to current assumptions and
conventional wisdom in information systems development are posed.
The second section considers the management of information systems.
Again, the conventional wisdom is challenged. The penultimate
section focuses on researching information systems. Here, various
issues to do with research methods are surfaced, and the use of
leading-edge research methods in information systems development is
pioneered and discussed. Finally, a section is devoted to
understanding information systems. This section addresses the
perennial challenge in the IS field in relation to the conceptual
foundations of the field. This volume comprises the proceedings of
the Working Conference on Realigning Research and Practice in
Information Systems Development: The Social and Organizational
Perspective, which was sponsored by the International Federation
for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Boise, Idaho, USA in
July 2001. Given the central importance of information systems
development in the current age, this eclectic book, which considers
the topic from a rich and varied set of perspectives, will be
essential reading for researchers and practitioners working in all
areas of IS and IT.
