Synopsis
The field of information systems has been evolving since the first application of computers in organizations in the early 1950s. Focusing on information systems analysis and design up to and including the 1980s, the field has expanded enormously, with our assumptions about information and knowledge being challenged, along with both intended and unintended consequences of information technology.This second edition takes stock of the progress made in recent years and presents a forward-looking perspective that can help to shape future scholarly conversations both in the field of information systems but also in cognate fields where information technology is having profound effects. With the advances in digital technology, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, blockchain, green tech and the like, we herald a digital era and can envision a shift and a need for new logics – “new ways of thinking” and new ways of engaging with digital technology now and in the near future. As compared to the four themes in the previous edition, this book introduces a fifth theme, “Digital Phenomena”, to specifically attend to contemporary issues and what is a pertinent agenda for future research. This prestige reference work offers students and researchers a critical reflection on major topics and current scholarship in this evolving field, with each chapter providing a balanced overview of current knowledge, identifying issues and discussing relevant debates.This book is required reading for any student or researcher concerned not just with the broad - and expanding - field of management information systems per se but all those in cognate disciplines interested in the impacts, management and use of modern information technologies in organizations and modern society, whether it be strategy, organizational behaviour, marketing, sociology or the like. This single-volume repository deals not just with the current state of knowledge, the current debates and the extant literature, but also with questions concerning emerging management concerns and implications of the fast-changing world of digital technologies.
