Seminar - Current Trends in Digital Trans­for­ma­tion Research

Contact Secretariat

Content

In this course, students will learn to de­sign their own empirical re­search proj­ect by replicating a study in in­for­mation systems re­search (tba). Studies stem from re­search areas on digital platform ecosystems, IT-based cooperation, digital work, and in­no­va­ti­ve technologies. Replications may include exact replications, methodological replications, and conceptual replications (cf. Dennis and Valacich 2014, Niederman and March 2015; Tsang and Kwan 1999). With a detailed understanding of replication logics and of their re­search field, students will work on a replication proj­ect in their team.

Schedule

Learn­ing outcomes

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to

• Evaluate the theoretical development of a re­search stream in in­for­mation systems re­search
• Understand the application of empirical re­search methods in in­for­mation systems re­search
• Plan and execute their own re­search to replicate existing re­search in in­for­mation systems
• Develop the ability to bridge the gap between conceptual and empirical work by adopting and testing a conceptual model using empirical data
