This
edited three volume edition brings together significant papers previously
published in the Journal of information Technology (JIT) over its 30 year
publication history. The three volumes of Enacting
Research Methods in Information Systems celebrate the methodological
pluralism used to advance our understanding of information technology's role in
the world today. In addition to quantitative methods from the positivist
tradition, JIT also values methodological articles from critical research perspectives,
interpretive traditions, historical perspectives, grounded theory, and action
research and design science approaches.



Volume
1 covers Critical Research, Grounded Theory, and Historical Approaches. Volume
2 deals with Interpretive Approaches and also explores Action Research. Volume
3 focuses on Design Science Approaches and discusses Alternative Approaches including
Semiotics Research, Complexity Theory and Gender in IS Research.



The
Journal of Information Technology (JIT) was started in 1986 by Professors Frank
Land and Igor Aleksander with the aim of bringing technology and management
together and bridging the 'great divide' between the two disciplines. The
Journal was created with the vision of making the impact of complex
interactions and developments in technology more accessible to a wider
audience. Retaining this initial focus, the JIT has gone on to extend into new
and innovative areas of research such as the launch of JITTC in 2010. A high
impact journal, JIT shall continue to publish leading trends based on
significant research in the field.
