"This vital new Handbook brings together cutting-edge contributions from experts in Information Systems (IS) to explore how qualitative research can be undertaken in the IS discipline. The Handbook critically surveys contemporary trends in qualitative IS studies and offers detailed examples of how IS research methods can be taught. The leading group of contributors provide future-oriented analyses of key research methodologies, covering important topics such as the nature of theory and philosophy in qualitative IS research and new developments in the field. Engaging in an exploratory analysis of where opportunities for qualitative IS research might be heading, the Handbook concludes by identifying a need to consolidate existing research methodologies and develop new ones. The Handbook of Qualitative Research Methods for Information Systems will be beneficial for students studying areas such as information systems, qualitative research methods, research method innovation and knowledge management." -- Publisher
