Current Information Systems research is largely based on theoretical questions developed by IS researchers with little input from IS practitioners. The purpose of this book is to reverse this situation and increase the use of action research in conducting research activities in information technology and systems. The first section focuses on the methodological issues that arise when action research methods are conducted. The second part provides examples of action research in practice. The concluding section summarizes the philosophical foundations of action research and its application as a methodology in Information Systems research and research programs. The book includes contributions from prominent scholars in Europe, Australasia, and the Americas representing different traditions and perspectives in action research.
