Context is King! Considering Particularism in Research Design and Reporting
This seminar will cover two topics: 1) Context is King! Considering Particularism in Research Design and Reporting. For this topic, Professor Davison aims to raise awareness of context by examining its role in empirical research. He will consider the dichotomy of universalism and particularism and discuss the interaction of theory and culture in order to consider the scope of validity for research findings and conclusions. He will illustrate the arguments with reference to a number of cases, each illustrating contextual adequacy or inadequacy, and offer specific prescriptions for authors, editors and reviewers to help ensure that both the research context and scope of validity are adequately communicated and understood. 2) Disciplines, Perspectives and Impacts in IS Research: For this topic, Professor Davison will share from the perspective of the editor of the Information Systems Journal. About the topics, methods, disciplines, perspectives and the extent to which research has an impact. He will share his view on the inter-disciplinary research, which could be the seeds of future opportunities and impacts, in particular the impact on society.
