The field of information systems has been evolving since the first application of computers in organizations in the early 1950s. Focusing on information systems analysis and design up to and including the 1980s, the field has expanded enormously, with our assumptions about information and knowledge being challenged, along with both intended and unintended consequences of information technology.This second edition takes stock of the progress made in recent years and presents a forward-looking perspective that can help to shape future scholarly conversations both in the field of information systems but also in cognate fields where information technology is having profound effects. With the advances in digital technology, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, blockchain, green tech and the like, we herald a digital era and can envision a shift and a need for new logics – “new ways of thinking” and new ways of engaging with digital technology now and in the near future. As compared to the four themes in the previous edition, this book introduces a fifth theme, “Digital Phenomena”, to specifically attend to contemporary issues and what is a pertinent agenda for future research. This prestige reference work offers students and researchers a critical reflection on major topics and current scholarship in this evolving field, with each chapter providing a balanced overview of current knowledge, identifying issues and discussing relevant debates.This book is required reading for any student or researcher concerned not just with the broad - and expanding - field of management information systems per se but all those in cognate disciplines interested in the impacts, management and use of modern information technologies in organizations and modern society, whether it be strategy, organizational behaviour, marketing, sociology or the like. This single-volume repository deals not just with the current state of knowledge, the current debates and the extant literature, but also with questions concerning emerging management concerns and implications of the fast-changing world of digital technologies.

In an era marked by relentless digital disruption, where every interaction - whether it's a click, a tap, or a swipe - shapes the structure of our interconnected world, the need for transformative action becomes notably clear. This collection brings together a dynamic compilation of insights, carefully selected from leading experts in the field, ready to navigate the uncharted waters of this digital revolution. The collection comprises submissions from two ISPIM (International Society for Professional Innovation Management) events, along with additional contributions. It offers an extensive view that encompasses the various challenges and opportunities brought about by the tumultuous waves of digital disruption and transformation, spanning a wide range of aspects in contemporary business and society.The primary aim of this collection is to emphasize the idea that the emerging global digital economy urgently requires a comprehensive perspective on digitalization, making it central for all institutions. Contributions in this collection shed light on important subjects, including, but not limited to, The Evolution of Digital Transformation, Skills and Knowledge Requirements in the Era of Digital Transformations, and Data-Driven Foresight.Within the boundaries of this scholarly endeavor, a deep understanding of the intricate network of digitalization and its consequences is nurtured. As the relentless surge of digitalization continues, this collection serves as an invaluable guide for discerning scholars and practitioners alike, inviting them to navigate this transformative period with wisdom and expertise.
