Human Inquiry

Contemporary understanding of information systems (IS) is flawed by fundamental problems in information systems research and practice. In this chapter, we claim that philosophical presuppositions have a great influence on our understanding of IS. Reflecting on the modernism-postmodernism debate and its methodological consequences for IS research, we derive the need for a paradigmatic foundation of IS research. Referring to Kuhn’s concept of “paradigm,” we develop a framework for the conceptualization of “paradigms of inquiry.” We use the notion of “model,” which we believe to be pivotal for the understanding of IS, to illustrate the implications of the adoption of a “paradigm of inquiry.” In response to a criticism of both the positivist and the radical-constructivist paradigms, we develop a paradigm called “sociopragmatic constructivism” (SPC). Presupposing that human inquiry relies on social contextualization, common practice and cultural history, we propose an agenda for upcoming IS research grounded in SPC.

The Impact

An enduring question in information systems research and practice concerns evaluation of the impact of information systems (IS). It endures, as to date there is no ready solution. Focusing on one aspect, measuring IS success or effectiveness, there are ranges of measures available. At one end of the scale we have perceptual measures like use and user satisfaction; somewhere along that scale we have the more objective measures like quality; whilst at the other end we have objective measures like increased market share, price recovery and increased product quality.

Communication And Technology

Social media can be conceptualized as the new boundary of social relationships that has been the cause of different power and other forms of social practice that can not develop and be accepted in human communication and technology and information action. This emergence is the cause of the creation of a need to consider new approaches to investigate the phenomena that arise in social media. In this study, we discussed critical discourse analysis (CDA) as an approach to develop existing theories in social media. Discuss about CDA in important information systems research (IS). With examples of CDA material applied to social media, this discussion can serve to tell IS researchers about viable options for developing theories in social media.

Current Scenario

This study reviews the literature on interactivity, a concept which is widely discussed in the context of media, communication, and information systems research. Extant research in these areas suggests that the concept needs timely explication with changes in mediated technologies. In this context, this study reviews the theoretical definitions of interactivity and discusses their relevance and shortcomings in the current scenario. The study also reviews past research works in interactivity based on the type of digital media. The study has categorized the interactivity literature into news, politics, health, e-commerce, mobile communication, and social media. Finally, the study has given directions for future research in each of these areas.
