“…Thereby, positivists apply a rather nomothetic approach to their research, aiming to find universal lawlike facts that can be generalised beyond the investigated case by controlling factors of context and time (Lincoln & Guba, 1985;Eisenhardt, 1989;Orlikowski & Baroudi, 1991;Lee & Baskerville, 2003;Mingers, 2003;Yin, 2009;Basden, 2011).…”

“…The ideal of discovering law-like insights is inappropriate for interpretive research because theory is always bounded in a particular context and thus demands an idiographic theorising instead Lee & Baskerville, 2003;Mingers, 2003;Stake, 2005;Basden, 2011). This means understanding the particular case is the main purpose of theorising in interpretive CSR.…”

Case study research (CSR) has gained strong acceptance in information systems (IS) research in the recent decades. This article examines how CSR has been used in IS research practice. Contrasting the currently used CSR approaches to methodological prescriptions can lead to recommendations for researchers applying this research strategy as well as to advances in the methodological literature. Our study design comprises two steps. First, we identified case studies published in six major IS journals from 2001 to 2010. Second, we critically examined CSR practices in the identified studies. We observed a dualism, as CSR currently consists of a positivist and an equally strong interpretive research stream. Case studies with other philosophical underpinnings were rarely found. We describe the CSR practice and contrast it to the methodological prescriptions. Thereby, we clearly point out the shortcomings, aiming to initiate a debate on how our community should further develop its use of CSR to become more mindful. This study is the first broad examination of CSR in IS (focusing on more than just the positivist research stream) and thus contributes to the methodological literature by providing recommendations for improvements.

“…The potential value of the methodology for exploring other similar interpretive problems has been documented in other publications regarding the application of Dooyeweerd's philosophical ideas. These include studies on how interprevist, socio‐critical and positivist approaches in systems may be integrated (Basden, ); a detailed outline of how Dooyeweerd's philosophical can be applied to systems research is also covered in a later work by the same author (Basden, ).…”

Objective The purpose of this study was to identify and analyse the US Health Sector concept of the ‘Meaningful Use’ of electronic health records (EHR's) based on the wide diversity of discourses in the published literature. Meaningful Use is defined as ‘use of digital medical and health records to improve quality, safety and efficiency of patient health information’. Methods Herman Dooyeweerd's philosophical suite of aspects was the chosen research tool used to analyse seminal papers concerning the Meaningful Use of EHRs. The methodology included the identification of the criteria for choosing the papers: application of the criteria to the literature and then selection of the papers and finally the application of Dooyeweerd's aspects to the papers in order to analyse and classify the motivations of the authors. Results As a result of the aspectual analysis of the relevant texts in the seminal papers, two aspects were identified, one as primary and another one as secondary. In addition, the analytic aspect was repeated twice as the primary aspect. Although there were a number of papers distinctively centred on different aspects, overlaps and similarities were also clearly identified. Discussion Dooyeweerd's philosophy is useful in helping to affirm the factors that are important to the authors of the seminal papers and the philosophy helps us to accommodate this diversity in a unique way, therefore enhancing our understanding of approaches in the area. Conclusion By employing the lens of Dooyeweerd's aspects, the study enhances the understanding of diversity in one discipline and could potentially provide a new system for the classification of diversity within other related disciplines.

“…Each scientific area tends to find one or two aspects of most interest (Basden, 2011). In the case of psychology it is mainly the PSYCHIC/SENSITIVE aspect, concerned with mental functioning, which includes feeling, sensing, response, and emotion.…”

Understanding of computers and procrastination: A philosophical approach

Computer procrastination is a complex problem that is under-researched. After identifying a number of key characteristics of it, we survey five existing fields of research that may contribute insights into this interdisciplinary problem, and demonstrate that none of these areas can provide satisfactory insight on their own. A philosophical framework for understanding computer use is introduced, and applied to a case study to demonstrate its potential in understanding the richness of computer procrastination. We then show how this framework can reveal the ways in which each of the existing fields is limited in its ability. The result is both an understanding of why existing research has not directly addressed this issue, and suggestions for a way forward for further research into computer procrastination.
