The information systems (IS) field represents a multidisciplinary
area that links the rapidly changing technology of information (or
communications and information technology, ICT) to the business and
social environment. Despite the potential that the IS field has to
develop its own native theories to address current issues involving
ICT it has consistently borrowed theories from its "reference
disciplines," often uncritically, to legitimize its research. This
volume is the first of a series intended to advance IS research
beyond this form of borrowed legitimization and derivative research
towards fresh and original research that naturally comes from its
own theories. It is inconceivable for a field so relevant to the
era of the hyper-connected society, disruptive technologies, big
data, social media, "fake news" and the weaponization of
information to not be brimming with its own theories. The first
step in reaching the goal of developing native IS theories is to
reach an agreement on the need for theory (its rationale) and its
role as the most distinctive product of human intellectual
activity. This volume addresses what theories are, why bother with
theories and the process of theorizing itself because the process
of developing theories cannot be divorced from the product of that
process. It will lay out a research agenda for decades to come and
will be invaluable reading for any academic in the IS field and
related disciplines concerned with information, systems, technology
and their management.
