Beschreibung

The lecture provides students with a basic understanding of information-systems research. It covers an introduction to information-systems research, including behavioral research and design-oriented research, and students learn how to formulate research problems and questions, how to conduct literature reviews and searches, how to apply basic quantitative as well as qualitative research methods, and how to conduct design-oriented research.

Kompetenzen

    • explain the fundamentals of information-systems research, including its roots, areas, and topics, and describe the seminal concepts and theories used in information-systems research
    • distinguish between behavorial science (i.e., theory building and testing) and design science (i.e., IT artifact design and evaluation) and know what design theory is
    • know what makes a good research topic and what methods can be applied for identifying research ideas and refining them into research problems and questions
    • know where to find and access academic outlets that publish information-systems research, and explain strategies for collecting, evaluating, and synthesizing academic literature
    • describe basic strategies of information-systems research (e.g., qualitative and quantitative/inductive and deductive strategies) and techniques for collecting data (e.g., interviews, questionnaires) and analyzing data (e.g., coding, statistics)
    • identify research ideas in the area of information-systems research and refine them into research problems and questions
    • identify relevant theories and concepts used in information-systems research
    • apply appropriate research strategies and methods using different software products (e.g., NVivo, Qualtrics)
    • conduct systematic literature reviews and use appropriate methods and tools (e.g., Mendeley) for collecting, 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
