IS8014 Theory & Qualitative IS Research IV: Theory and Literature
Questions What are the primary suggestions of Webster and Watson (2002) for the undertaking of literature reviews? Do they make any suggestions that you disagree with? Why? Evaluate Tarafdar et al. (2019) with reference to the ideas/principles in Webster and Watson 2002).
Guiding Questions What is the role of literature vis- -vis theory? How familiar does a researcher need to be with the literature before building a theory? Sourcing constructs in the literature Creating theoretical arguments based on the literature What are systematic and structured reviews? How can we synthesise prior research? How can we make theoretical contributions to the literature?

(2021) The Coordination of Workarounds: Insights from Responses to Misfits between Local Realities and a Mandated Enterprise System, Information & Management 58, 8, 103530, 1-12.

Questions for Next Week How do the authors of each paper prepare for the collection of data that they will later analyse inductively in order to theorise? What techniques do the authors use to analyse their data and how does this lead to the identification of theoretical constructs? What kind of theory are the authors contributing to? How new and interesting are the theoretical arguments in each paper?
