Thisedited three volume edition brings together significant papers previouslypublished in the Journal of information Technology (JIT) over its 30 yearpublication history. The three volumes of EnactingResearch Methods in Information Systems celebrate the methodologicalpluralism used to advance our understanding of information technology''s role inthe world today. In addition to quantitative methods from the positivisttradition, JIT also values methodological articles from critical research perspectives,interpretive traditions, historical perspectives, grounded theory, and actionresearch and design science approaches.

Volume1 covers Critical Research, Grounded Theory, and Historical Approaches. Volume2 deals with Interpretive Approaches and also explores Action Research. Volume3 focuses on Design Science Approaches and discusses Alternative Approaches includingSemiotics Research, Complexity Theory and Gender in IS Research.

TheJournal ofInformation Technology (JIT) was started in 1986 by Professors FrankLand and Igor Aleksander with the aim of bringing technology and managementtogether and bridging the ‘great divide’ between the two disciplines. TheJournal was created with the vision of making the impact of complexinteractions and developments in technology more accessible to a wideraudience. Retaining this initial focus, the JIT has gone on to extend into newand innovative areas of research such as the launch of JITTC in 2010. A highimpact journal, JIT shall continue to publish leading trends based onsignificant research in the field.

Bringing together theoretical and empirical studies from the Journal of Information Technology, this book provides a definitive guide to research discovered on the growing global sourcing phenomenon. Paying particular attention to Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), theoretical chapters explore insightful ways of thinking about the different facets of outsourcing, and provide useful information to practitioners and researchers. Empirical chapters report the findings of 405 major research studies into the risks and successes of relationships between customer and vendor, the development of trust in these relationships, the factors affecting locations for offshoring, and specialized offshoring organizations such as captive centres. In this comprehensive study, the editors present an expert review of the historical development of this field, and offer analysis of emerging findings and practices for the future.
