  • Design ethnography in information systems

    Open AccessR Baskerville, Richard L Baskerville et al.ARTICLEInformation Systems Journal2014Cited by: 6References: 14

    Until recently, most ethnographic research in information systems has been based on the traditional anthropological model of ethnography. In this traditional model of ethnography, one of the most important data-gathering techniques is participant observation. The ethnographer observes and participates but does not actively seek to change the situation. In recent years, however, a new type of ethnographic research has emerged - one that can be cal…

  • Putting the ‘theory’ back into grounded theory

    Open AccessCathy Urquhart, Hans Lehmann et al.ARTICLEInformation Systems Journal2009

    Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the use of grounded theory in information systems research. Grounded theory is a qualitative research method that seeks to develop theory that is grounded in data systematically gathered and analysed.

  • Which Way to Till This Field? The Cultural Selection of Surface Form in the Rise and Fall of Cultivation Ridges in Northwestern Europe

    Michael Myers, Michael D MyersARTICLEJournal of Cultural Geography2002References: 7

    This paper compares the tillage patterns of ridged and level fields, and suggests past incentives for their alternative selection within the agricultural history of northwestern Europe. Fieldwork in Ireland in 1994 and 1995 focused on traditional plow and spade competitions and systematic test plot experiments. Analyses compared the movements of body, tools, and soils in the field, the time absorbed, and the effects on field form, ecology, and yi…

  • A Set of Principles for Conducting and Evaluating Interpretive Field Studies in Information Systems1

    Heinz K Klein, Michael Myers et al.ARTICLEMIS Quarterly1999

    This article discusses the conduct and evaluation of interpretive research in information systems. While the conventions for evaluating information systems case studies conducted according to the natural science model of social science are now widely accepted, this is not the case for interpretive field studies. A set of principles for the conduct and evaluation of interpretive field research in information systems is proposed, along with their p…

This leads to possible conflicts in choosing research methods. Argues that the changing world of the IS practitioner is reflected in the changing world of the IS researcher and that qualitative approaches to IS research help t…

Although anthropology has been largely neglected in the IS research literature, it is argued that important insights can be gained by adopting an anthropological perspective on information systems phenomena. Illustrates the value of an anthropological perspective by looking at the relationship between information technology and organizational culture. Sho…
