Synthesizing a soft system methodology use in information systems research field: A systematic review

Abstract

A systematic review is practically necessitated to understand a whole view of the research. It is a type of research that is previously able to be done before conducting a main research activity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate soft system methodology (SSM) use in the research field of information systems (IS). The method systematic review was operated in this study, particularly to systematically review numerous papers. Four simple main stages were performed here; review identifying, previous article screening, further articles screening, and articles evaluation. The results of the study show the precise position of SSM use in research related to IS field.
