- Book 11 of 33: Introducing Qualitative Methods
Information systems and qualitative research articles are now widely used for teaching on many upper level courses in information systems, and there is demand for a definitive collection of these readings as a basic reader and teaching text. This book expertly brings together the seminal works in the field, along with editorial introductions to assist the reader in understanding the essential principles of qualitative research.
The book is organised according to the following thematic sections:
· Part I: Overview of Qualitative Research
· Part II: Philosophical Perspectives
· Part III: Qualitative Research Methods
· Part IV: Modes of Analyzing and Interpreting Qualitative Data
Qualitative Research in Information Systems: A Reader should become the benchmark reference point for students and researchers in information systems, management science and others involved in information technology needing to learn about qualitative research.
