RESEARCH IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS: ORGANIZATIONAL PERSPECTIVES

Course Description

This course is designed to provide an introduction to theoretical perspectives and foundations in the fundamental topics of information and communication technologies, digital systems and digitization in business processes. This course aims to help information systems postgraduate students to carry out a research in Information Systems field as well as in fields of business, information science, communications, computer science, etc. In this course, students will be able to apply and understand the strengths and weaknesses of the commonly used research methodologies in information systems, enhance their ability to theorize about information technology and learn the process of publishing information technology related research in information systems and non-IS journals.
