The module provides an in-depth, research-oriented examination of the theoretical foundations and paradigms of Information Systems (IS) Research. It equips students with the necessary conceptual tools to theoretically model, critically analyze, and investigate complex digital phenomena, socio-technical systems, and emerging technologies across organizational, socio-technical, and individual levels.
The curriculum follows a top-down structure: starting from broad organizational and structural perspectives, progressing through socio-technical interactions, and focusing down to individual task-level behaviors. For Information Systems students, the module deepens the epistemological and theoretical core of their discipline. For students from related disciplines, it provides a rigorous theoretical framework for linking, for example, technical developments and psychological and behavioral constructs with system-centered IS models.
