“…Criteria or principles for carrying out critical research are lacking generally in information systems (IS) [16]. Considering its importance, Myers and Klein [16] proposed a set of principles for conducting critical research -these principles could be considered in future investigations of human factors in GSE. Figure 2 depicts the research methods used.…”

Abstract. This paper reports our extended analysis of the recent literature addressing global software engineering (GSE), using a new Systematic Snapshot Mapping (SSM) technique. The primary purpose of this work is to understand what issues are being addressed and how research is being carried out in GSEand comparatively, what work is not being conducted. We carried out the analysis in two stages. In the first stage we analyzed 275 papers published between January 2011 and June 2012, and in the second stage we augmented our analysis by considering a further 26 papers (from the 2013 International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE'13). Our results reveal that, currently, GSE studies are focused on management-and infrastructure-related factors, using principally evaluative research approaches. Most of the studies are conducted at the organizational level, mainly using methods such as interviews, surveys, field studies and case studies. The USA, India and China are major players in GSE, with USA-India collaborations being the most frequently studied, followed by USA-China. While a considerable number of GSE-related studies have been published since January 2011 they are currently quite narrowly focused, on exploratory research and explanatory theories, and the critical research paradigm has been untouched. An absence of formulative research, experimentation and simulation, and a related focus on evaluative approaches, all suggest that existing tools, methods and approaches from related fields are being tested in the GSE context, even though these may not be inherently applicable to the additional scale and complexity of GSE.

“…To validate our explications, we discussed protocols and impressions about the progress with participants and leaders of the administration (cf. Myers & Klein 2011). Different accounts were noted, discussed and results adapted (see the results section concerning the discussion with leaders).…”

“…A similar shift can be noted in fields other than industrial marketing such as international relations (Jackson, 2008), information management (Myers and Klein, 2011) and education (Liu and Matthews, 2005). Monist philosophy could be further refined and expanded to better understand the dynamics of functionalism or 'usefulness' in industrial marketing.…”

“…This extends the generic empirical methodology phases earlier mentioned. Research is a layered process that starts with a philosophy and provides instruments for conducting research (Davison et al, 2004;McNiff, 2003;Myers and Klein, 2011). These instruments take the form of making research traditions explicit and suggesting specific steps or questions (Leonardi, 2017;Myers and Klein, 2011;Wynn and Williams, 2012).…”

“…Research is a layered process that starts with a philosophy and provides instruments for conducting research (Davison et al, 2004;McNiff, 2003;Myers and Klein, 2011). These instruments take the form of making research traditions explicit and suggesting specific steps or questions (Leonardi, 2017;Myers and Klein, 2011;Wynn and Williams, 2012). Building on a strong process philosophy and pragmatism's transactional epistemology 18 (Biesta, 2010), our approach proposes pragmatism and encapsulation as a complementary foundation for research that can take content into account.…”
