[AISWorld] Steven Alter - SIGPhil's Philosophical dialogues: the story behind the work with Steven Alter,

[SANTA, Mijalche]

"SIGPhil's Philosophical dialogues: the story behind the work" is an AIS SIGPhil's activity to promote the philosophical discourse in IS field.

The purpose of the SIGPhil's podcasts "Philosophical dialogues: the story behind the work" is to go behind the published work and seek answers to why philosophy, how philosophy, when philosophy and with whom. Together with the quests talking about their experience we will explore the history, the ideas, the reasoning, the process, the challenges and the funny things that happened and made contribution to what they did and published. We will also discuss what did not got published and the future of their philosophical work. All that in 45 to 60 minutes.

If you want to engage or just explore the philosophy of science in information systems you should listen these podcasts.

Today I talk with dr. Steven Alter, Professor Emeritus at University of San Francisco. Prof. Alter is the author of seven published books and many journal articles. His work is published in some of the top journals in the IS field. Over the course of many years of research he developed a systems analysis method for business professionals called the Work System Method. His published work describes work system theory and useful extensions related to work system principles, work system design spaces, workarounds, system interactions, and tools for establishing more effective communication between business and IT professionals. Through his work prof. Alter is recognized for creating an integrated conceptual basis for understanding and analyzing IT-reliant systems from a business viewpoint.

Today with professor Alter we discuss research motivated by philosophical pragmatism. We discuss the need for clear concepts, the quest to be pragmatic, the problem of method in IS field and  the issue of whether the wider world would care if the IS academic field stops existing. With this I bring you prof. Alter
