Information systems research (IS) is an exciting multidisciplinary
area that links the rapidly changing technology of information (or
communications and information technology, ICT) to the business and
social environment. Lately, the discourse surrounding information
and systems has leaped into the consciousness of the public in
unprecedented ways through the rise of social media, the Internet
of Things (IoT), 'fake news' and the weaponization of information,
to name a few. Unfortunately, it has been felt that these
developments are overtaking the ability of the IS field to address
them, in part, because the field itself lacks its own native
theories. It is well known that the IS field undertakes its
research using theories from its 'reference disciplines' such as
management, social psychology, economics, communication and
computer science, but what this book offers is a clarification and
implementation of the discipline's own foundational theory. This
book is the companion volume to Advancing Information Systems
Theories: Volume I, and part of a three part series that aims
to advance IS research. This volume addresses the products of
information systems theories, examining design principles,
information, practice principles for robotics, and other concepts
integral to developing theory. The book will be of interest to
academics studying information systems, Big Data, digital business,
information technology, innovation management, and digital
management.

editors of this volume have framed the domain of research and
practice broadly. "Information Technology Outsourcing" provides
leading edge research on both the variety of decisions regarding
the outsourcing of IS services and the management of the
relationship with service suppliers.

This text is designed to help managers who have to deal with a
complex environment, and who are often presented with "ready-made"
solutions as to how to best organize their firm, to best use
information technology. The book presents a simple and attractive
framework within which managers can analyze their firm's
environment and characteristics, and reflect on the most
appropriate way - for them - to "put the puzzle together." It
provides the manager and student with an integrated conceptual but
pragmatic framework to analyze their situation. Courses examining
the role of Information Technology in emerging organizational forms
will find a well-grounded conceptual framework, illustrated with
in-depth case studies. The book draws from the latest research in
industrial organization, strategy, information technology,
organizational theory, and leadership. It examines the individual
puzzle pieces that have to be put together - strategy, structure,
information technology, and leadership, and present the cases of
three firms that were equally successful in putting these pieces
together, while choosing pieces with dramatically different forms
and adjusting them in radically different ways.The three in-depth
cases included in the book are international:Oticon is a Danish
firm with close to 1500 employees and is a world leader in the
manufacture of hearing aids. Li & Fung is another, fist
established in Canton and is an international trading
company.Progressive Insurance which is the third largest insurance
company in the US.
