A Set of Principles for Conducting and Evaluating Interpretive Field
Studies in Information Systems
H. Klein, and M. Myers. Mgmt. Information Science Quarterly, 23 (1):
67--93(March 1999)
Abstract
This article discusses the conduct and evaluation of interpretive
research in information systems. While the conventions for evaluating
information systems case studies conducted according to the natural
science model of social science are now widely accepted, this is
not the case for interpretive field studies. A set of principles
for the conduct and evaluation of interpretive field research in
information systems is proposed, along with their philosophical rationale.
The usefulness of the principles is illustrated by evaluating three
published interpretive field studies drawn from the IS research literature.
The intention of the paper is to further reflection and debate on
the important subject of grounding interpretive research methodology.
