Track Novel Approaches to Evaluation and Assessment of Information Systems Track Chair Dr. D. Fındık Call for Papers IS evaluation is a complex process that necessitates multi-level analysis including various components such as actors, relations, context, and methodology, We observe three approaches in the IS literature such as positivism, intepretivism, and critical theory that help researchers reveal dynamics of evaluation. Positivist approach to IS assumes that reality is objectively determined and independent of the researcher. A new system developed within a firm or acquired from an outside vendor, therefore, is treated as a final outcome. Internal users’ perceptions and attitudes towards a new system are neglected in many cases. Interpretivist approach, on the other hand, focuses more on understanding the effect of this system on organization. Critical theory emphasizes the role of history in constructing social reality. In other words, reality and actors are mutually dependent on each other. Actors are constrained by various forms of social, economic or cultural domination. In this call for paper, we aim to bring researchers studying alternative approaches to evaluation of information systems performance.
