Abstract

New Information Systems Development Methodologies (ISDMs) are suggested in the belief that their deployment would be beneficial to consultants in their work. A large number of ISDMs already exist but their value has been questioned and at the same time new methodologies continue to be introduced in an attempt to support and improve the practice of information systems development work. What is not always clear from current studies is that ISDM is a multi-perspective and cross-discipline phenomenon. Although a large amount of knowledge of ISDM is available, different disciplinary interests have resulted in fragmented assessments of it. This paper intends to identify theoretical perspectives applied in the conceptualization of ISDM. A review of the literature on ISDM was conducted and four different theoretical perspectives were identified: 1) system, 2) structure, 3) innovation, and 4) knowledge. While each perspective provides various overarching depictions of ISDM, the synthesized view of ISDM provided in this study reveals the complexities and ambiguities of a multifaceted phenomenon such as ISDM. Suggestions for an alternative conceptualization of ISDM are provided in an attempt to facilitate the investigation of ISDM.
探索信息系统开发方法论的本质:基于文献综述的综合观点
建议采用新的信息系统开发方法,是因为相信采用这些方法将有利于顾问的工作。大量的isdm已经存在,但是它们的价值受到质疑,与此同时,为了支持和改进信息系统开发工作的实践,新的方法继续被引入。从目前的研究中并不总是清楚的是,ISDM是一个多视角和跨学科的现象。虽然有大量关于ISDM的知识,但不同的学科兴趣导致了对它的碎片化评估。本文旨在确定在ISDM概念化中应用的理论观点。本文对ISDM的相关文献进行了综述,提出了四种不同的理论视角:1)系统、2)结构、3)创新和4)知识。虽然每个视角都提供了ISDM的各种总体描述,但本研究提供的ISDM综合视图揭示了ISDM等多方面现象的复杂性和模糊性。为了促进对ISDM的研究,本文提出了ISDM的另一种概念化建议。
