Description

The course aims to i) review and critically analyse major theoretical developments in the IS discipline, ii) engage students in deeper understanding and exploring theoretical problems in the IS discipline and iii) enable students’ participation in theoretical discourse as well as in debates about IS theory relevance to practice.

The course is based on the most influential and innovative works in a range of theories and theoretical approaches in the discipline. The course will also motivate students to examine an interesting and relevant research problem using one of the theories studied or other theories. The seminar character of the course assumes active participation and contribution by the students.
