Metaphor, meaning and myth: Exploring diversity in Information Systems Research
This paper is essentially a re-worked/updated version of the paper I presented at ICIS 2007. I’ve actually been working on this for some time, trying to figure out a way to progress it forward from a conference paper into a journal paper. It is targeted at an IS journal. I’m hoping it will appeal to a broad IS academic base. However, I would appreciate feedback from anyone who finds the subject interesting; from IS academics to linguistic experts.
Here is the paper in PDF.
