Paradigms for Sale: Information systems in the process of radical change
نویسنده
چکیده
The four paradigms by Burrell and Morgan (1976) and their interpretations within Information Systems Research are critically analysed. The dominant interpretation by Hirschheim and Klein (1992) is challenged by the construction of an alternative interpretation. The tension between the alternatives gives rise to a discussion of the paradigms and their relevance, need and usefulness.

متن کاملChange of the tautomeric preference for radical cation of pyruvic acid. DFT studies in the gas phase
Keto-enol tautomerism was investigated for ionized pyruvic acid using the DFT(B3LYP) method and the larger basis sets [6-31++G(d,p), 6-311++G(3df, 3pd) and aug-cc-pVDZ]. Change of the tautomeric preference was observed when going from the neutral to ionized tautomeric mixture. Ionization favors the enolization process (ketoenol) of pyruvic acid, whereas the ketonization (ketoenol) is preferred ...
