Summary
Information systems is, in terms of a reference discipline, over 30 years old and is represented by an immense volume of refereed journals and other publications that have developed to chart the rapid development of information and communications technologies. The purpose of this major reference collection is to represent sufficiently the information systems field in terms of its range, the quality of the evidence that has been produced, the methods adopted for research and the practices it has pointed to. Each volume has been compiled by leading international academics with advice from an exceptional editorial board. An introduction to the set was written by the series editors, acclaimed subject specialists Leslie Willcocks and Allen S Lee.
Volume One: Information Systems Infrastructure
Volume Two: Information Systems Development
Volume Three: Design Science Theories and Research Practices
Volume Four: Management of Information Systems
Volume Five: Social and Organizational Information Systems Research
Volume Six: Information Systems, Globalization and Developing Countries
