Design Research in Information Systems by Samir Chatterjee

Design Research in Information Systems by Samir Chatterjee

It is 5 years since the publication of the seminal paper on “Design Science in Information Systems Research” by Hevner, March, Park, and Ram in MIS Quarterly and the initiation of the Information Technology and Systems department of the Communications of AIS. These events in 2004 are markers in the move of design science to the forefront of information systems research. A suf cient interval has elapsed since then to allow assessment of from where the eld has come and where it should go. Design science research and behavioral science research started as dual tracks when IS was a young eld. By the 1990s, the in ux of behavioral scientists started to dominate the number of design scientists and the eld moved in that direction. By the early 2000s, design people were having dif culty publishing in mainline IS journals and in being tenured in many universities. Yes, an annual Workshop on Information Technology and Systems (WITS) was established in 1991 in conju- tion with the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) and grew each year. But that was the extent of design science recognition. Fortunately, a revival is underway. By 2009, when this foreword was written, the fourth DESRIST c- ference has been held and plans are afoot for the 2010 meeting. Design scientists regained respect and recognition in many venues where they previously had little.

Chatterjee, Samir: - Samir Chatterjee, a.k.a. Chhanda-Muni, is an esteemed musician, primarily known as a performer of the two-piece Indian drum Tabla. He has featured in many music festivals and venues all over the world. Chatterjee also has a presence in the field of academia, as an author of two significant books on Indian music, and holding faculty positions in several reputed institutions. As a performer, teacher, social worker and tourist, Samir has been to many different places around the world. With an unusual capacity to observe and absorb, he has successively matured in his perspective to different phenomenon of life. Chatterjee's musical performances and creations have a distinct mark of his profound spiritual experiences drawn from life. These experiences have suffused in his talks and writings as well. This book is a rare example of that. Written in the form of a daily journal during a spell of forty days of intense practice, he reveals certain significant steps in his evolution as a seeker. Hailing from Calcutta, India and groomed by several musicians, ascetics and thinkers, Samir paved his own way towards his self-determined destination. He was never lost on his way and is in no rush.
