Kompetenzen

    • explain the fundamentals of IS research, especially its roots, areas, and topics, and describe the seminal concepts and theories used in IS research
    • distinguish between behavorial science and design science (e.g., theory-building and testing vs. IT artifact design and evaluation)
    • describe basic research strategies in IS (e.g., qualitative and quantitative/inductive and deductive strategies) and techniques for collecting (e.g., interviews, questionnaires) and analyzing (e.g., coding, statistics) empirical data
    • know where to find and access academic outlets that publish IS research, and explain strategies for collecting, evaluating, and synthesizing academic literature in IS
    • identify research ideas in the area of IS research and refine them into research problems and questions
    • identify relevant theories and concepts used in IS research
    • apply appropriate research strategies and methods using different software products (e.g., NVivo)
    • conduct systematic literature reviews and apply concept-centric approaches to analyzing and synthesizing the literature
    • work in groups, communicate as a team, and help each other in the process of reviewing the course contents and reading and understanding the literature they are provided with
    • assess their learning progresses and evaluate their participation in class autonomously
