I would be required to analyse and deconstruct 4 readings based on this required readings is: Hirschheim, R. and Klein, H. K. (1989). Four Paradigms of Information Systems Development. Communications of the ACM, 32(10), pp. 1199-1216.
This assignment explores a question that was raised in the lecture: What is “legitimate” knowledge about organisations? How is “legitimacy” Achieved?
Therefore, for this assignment, you are asked to analyse and de-construct four readings and to reconcile them to the four perspectives discussed in the lectures and in Hirsheim and Klein’s (1989) paper. The first assignment takes you deeper into how you deconstruct scholarly literature. The first assignment offers you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to critically analyse and organise information.To do well in this assignment, you must demonstrate a good understanding of how knowledge is legitimised, i.e. how writers attempt to convince you of their ideas.
