[Petter, Stacie]

The most recent issue of The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems (Vol. 49, No. 2) is published in the ACM Digital Library (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=J219).  This issue includes articles on a variety of topics including the debut of our new feature, "The Philosopher's Corner." In this issue, learn:



- the reasons for the like and dislike for Partial Least Squares as an analysis tool in information systems in "'Haters Gonna Hate': PLS and Information Systems Research" by Stacie Petter (https://doi.org/10.1145/3229335.3229337).



- how the topics in the information systems domain are changing and future research opportunities in our field in "Investigating Knowledge Flows between Information Systems and Other Disciplines: Seeking Greater Research Opportunities" by Kyuhan Lee, Jinsoo Park, and Jihae Suh (https://doi.org/10.1145/3229335.3229338).



- about how dynamic capabilities are one way to establish the relationship between IS strategy and organization performance in "Are Dynamic Capabilities the Missing Link Between the IS Strategy and Performance Relationship?: A Model and Exploratory Test at Three Levels of Environmental Dynamism" by Janice Lo and Dorothy Leidner (https://doi.org/10.1145/3229335.3229339).



- which firms get the most advantage from social media adoption in "The Benefit of Being Second: An Event Study of Social Media Adoption" by Jeff Cummings, Alan Dennis, Wooje Cho, and Kevin Cooney (https://doi.org/10.1145/3229335.3229340).



- why some online reviews are more helpful than others in "It's Not You, It's Me: Identity, Self-Verification, and Amazon Reviews" by Marc Schmalz, Michelle Carter, and Jin Ha Lee" (https://doi.org/10.1145/3229335.3229341).



- whether or not the information systems field is too dependent on research methods in "Paul Feyerabend and the Art of Epistemological Anarchy - A Discussion of the Basic Tenets of Against Method and an Assessment of Their Potential Usefulness for the Information Systems Field" by Horst Treiblmaier (https://doi.org/10.1145/3229335.3229342). This article is the first in our new section entitled "The Philosopher's Corner." Stay tuned to read rejoinders to this thought-provoking discussion in future issues of The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems.
