New research topics  continuously emerge in tandem with the latest developments in  technology-E-Business, Knowledge Management, Business Process  Reengineering, for example.  However, when the initial flurry of  research abates and the \"gloss\" of these areas has diminished  somewhat, as it inevitably does, the enduring core issue remains as to  how to develop systems to fully exploit these new areas.  Both  information systems and information technology are interpreted fairly  broadly in this book.  Of particular interest to the editors were  research studies that facilitate an understanding of the role and  impact of information technology on society, organizations, and  individuals, and which strive to improve the design and use of  information systems in that context.  \u003cbr\u003e  The contributions to the book are categorized into four broad themes.  First is the core issue of developing information systems in the  current environment. In this section several fundamental challenges to  current assumptions and conventional wisdom in information systems  development are posed.  The second section considers the management of  information systems. Again, the conventional wisdom is challenged. The  penultimate section focuses on researching information systems. Here,  various issues to do with research methods are surfaced, and the use  of leading-edge research methods in information systems development is  pioneered and discussed. Finally, a section is devoted to  understanding information systems. This section addresses the  perennial challenge in the IS field in relation to the conceptual  foundations of the field. \u003cbr\u003e  This volume comprises the proceedings of the Working Conference on  Realigning Research and Practice in Information Systems Development:  The Social and Organizational Perspective,which was sponsored by the  International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in  Boise, Idaho, USA in July 2001. \u003cbr\u003e  Given the central importance of information systems development in the  current age, this eclectic book, which considers the topic from a rich  and varied set of perspectives, will be essential reading for  researchers and practitioners working in all areas of IS and IT.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792374206\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-35489-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 482\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378911633548,"sku":"9780792374206","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792374206.jpg?v=1779503428","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792374206","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
