While very different, these have all been reached with the genuine aim of strengthening IS scholarship, and they all add to our specific understanding of the discipline in the last two decades. Edited by two of the most prominent academics in the field, \u003ci\u003eInformation Systems - The State of the Field\u003c\/i\u003e brings together such perspectives along with wider contextual discussion to provide a fertile ground for reflection, learning and further debate.
