This book presents the first debate between the contemporary
movement Radical Orthodoxy and Eastern Orthodox theologians.
Leading international scholars offer new insights and reflections
on a wide range of contemporary issues from a specifically
theological and philosophical perspective. The ancient notion of
divine Wisdom (Sophia) serves as a common point of reference in
this encounter. Both Radical and Eastern Orthodoxy agree that the
transfiguration of the world through the Word is at the very centre
of the Christian faith. The book explores how this process of
transformation can be envisaged with regard to epistemological,
ontological, aesthetical, ecclesiological and political questions.
Contributors to this volume include Rowan Williams, John Milbank,
Antoine Arjakovsky, Michael Northcott, Nicholas Loudovikos, Andrew
Louth and Catherine Pickstock.

For undergraduate courses in management information systems A
modern, case study-based exploration of Management Information
Systems Information Systems Today: Managing in the Digital World
opens each chapter with a case study so you can quickly understand
how and why information systems are essential in today's evolving
business landscape. The authors selected cases that highlight
real-world companies, technologies, and issues that illuminate the
chapter topics. Aligning major concepts with the latest trends, the
9th Edition expands its exploration of the ways digital density and
the API economy, mobile and cloud computing, social media,
artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things affect
information systems.
Even in the twenty-first century, critical and creative engagement
with modern and postmodern philosophy is a rarity in Orthodox
circles. The collection of essays presented here by Christoph
Schneider makes a significant contribution to overcoming this
deficit. Eight scholars from six different countries, working on
the intersection between Orthodox thought and philosophy, present
their research in short and accessible form. The topics covered
range from political philosophy to phenomenology, metaphysics,
philosophy of self, logic, ethics, and philosophy of language. The
authors do not all promote one particular approach to the
relationship between Orthodox theology and philosophy.
Nevertheless, taken together, their work demonstrates that Orthodox
scholarship is not con fined to historical research about the
Byzantine era, but can contribute to, and enrich, contemporary
intellectual debates.

This volume features a collection of papers on emerging concepts,
significant insights, novel approaches and ideas in information
systems research. It examines advances in information systems
development in general, and their impact on the development of new
methods, tools and management. The book contains invited papers
selected from the 27th International Conference on Information
Systems Development (ISD) held in Lund, Sweden, August 22 - 24,
2018. The revised and expanded papers present research that focuses
on methods, tools and management in information systems
development. These issues are significant as they provide the basis
for organizations to identify new markets, support innovative
technology deployment, and enable mobile applications to detect,
sense, interpret and respond to the environment.
This volume features a collection of papers on emerging concepts,

2017. The revised and expanded papers present research that focuses
on methods, tools and management in information systems

This volume is a collection of papers on emerging concepts,
approaches and ideas in information systems research. It examines
theoretical and methodological issues related to both information
systems development in general and the complexity of information
systems as socio-technical systems. The book draws on invited
papers selected from the proceedings of the 25th International
Conference on Information Systems Development (ISD) held in
Katowice, Poland, August 24 - 26, 2016. The invited conference
papers were revised and expanded and present research that is
focused on context, creativity, and cognition in information
systems development. These issues are significant as they provide
the basis for organizations to identify new markets, support
innovative technology deployment, and enable mobile applications to
detect, sense, interpret, and respond to the environment.
Information Systems Development: Reflections, Challenges and New
Directions, is the collected proceedings of the 20th International
Conference on Information Systems Development held in Edinburgh,
Scotland, August 24 - 26, 2011. It follows in the tradition of
previous conferences in the series in exploring the connections
between industry, research and education. These proceedings
represent ongoing reflections within the academic community on
established information systems topics and emerging concepts,
approaches and ideas. It is hoped that the papers herein contribute
towards disseminating research and improving practice
Information Systems (IS) as a discipline draws on diverse areas
including, technology, organisational theory, management and social
science. The field is recognized as very broad and encompassing
many themes and areas. However, the development of artefacts, or
information systems development (ISD), in the broadest sense, is a
central concern of the discipline. Significantly, ISD impacts on
the organisational and societal contexts through the use of the
artefacts constructed by the development. Today, that impact also
needs to be evaluated in terms of its effects on the environment.
Sustainable, or "green," IT is a catch-all term used to describe
the development, manufacture, management, use and disposal of ICT
in a way that minimizes damage to the environment. As a result, the
term has many different meanings, depending on the role assumed in
the life span of the ICT artefact. The theme of the proposed work
is to critically examine the whole range of issues around ISD from
the perspective of sustainability. Sustainable IT is an emerging
theme in academic research and industry practice in response to an
individual concern for the environment and the embryonic regulatory
environments being enacted globally to address the environmental
impact of ICT. In this work we intend to bring together in one
volume the diverse research around the development of sustainable
IS.
This book introduces ongoing reflections within the research
community on established information systems development topics and
emerging concepts, approaches and ideas in the field of healthcare
information systems. By promoting research on theoretical and
methodological issues related to both information systems
development in general and healthcare information systems in
particular, it presents current research in order to promote
improved practice. It comprises a selection of the best papers
presented at the 24th International Conference on Information
Systems Development (ISD) held in Harbin, China, August 25 - 27,
2015.
