Abstract:
Theory is considered to be the bedrock of academic research, often being viewed as the foundation upon which scientific enquiry is organized and built. Despite its ubiquity throughout information systems research, there is much that remains unknown about theory. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview and coverage of various theories, models, and related approaches used within information systems research. A defining collection of field advancements, it offers examples and descriptions of real-world applications of various theories based on empirical studies.
