“An exceptional and indispensable resource for anyone conducting research in the field of information systems (IS), this textbook is a must-have. The book adeptly traverses the philosophical underpinnings of modern IS research design, rendering it an indispensable asset for novice and experienced researchers alike.” (Mihailescu Marius Iulian, Computing Reviews, June 24, 2024)
