IS8014 Theory & Qualitative IS Research XI: Time and Theory
Time and Theory Students 5 In today s class, I invite students to lead a discussion about the nature of time as it applies to theory What is time? How do you think about time? What is the role of time in cause-effect relationships and how should theory take time into consideration? What is the impact of time on the way groups of people work (with technology) and what are the implications of time for theorising? What happens when time is interrupted or punctuated, from a theoretical perspective? How can we theorise time more directly? What are the challenges of doing so?
