Research Methods in Information Technology and Information Systems aims to equip researchers with knowledge needed for navigating the complex dynamics of research methods specifically tailored to the Information Systems domain.

The influence of digital technologies, innovation and, novel processes, coupled with the exponential growth of data, has reshaped the way researchers approach their inquiries and investigations in this field. In this digital era, the traditional boundaries of research methodologies are constantly being redefined, necessitating an exploration of innovative research in IS. This book explores how digital transformation is revolutionizing the research landscape, offering a comprehensive examination of the evolving methodologies and techniques that researchers must adapt to produce high quality research in IS field. From data collection and analysis to experimental design and qualitative inquiry, each chapter provides invaluable insights into the unique challenges and opportunities faced by researchers in IS and will prove useful for both students using quantitative and qualitative research in the digital sphere and researchers alike.

Designed to equip students with the skills needed to develop, execute, and analyze research projects, this book serves as an indispensable resource in academic settings. However, its practical insights and thorough coverage of contemporary research techniques also make it a valuable tool for IT practitioners seeking to enhance their knowledge base and refine their investigative skills. Additionally, educators will find this book to be a beneficial reference for staying updated with the latest research methodologies and trends in IT, facilitating their own professional development and improving their teaching practices.
