Information systems (IS) scholars have composed dialectic al inquiry by selectively and sporadically drawing on these principles\, h owever\, without explicating the principles and where they come from\, and without guidance on how to combine and adapt them to suit the sociotechni cal phenomena they study. This has complicated the use of dialectical inqu iry in IS\, limited the methodological comparability of studies\, and pres ented challenges for editors and reviewers evaluating them. In response\, this seminar introduces a framework with structured guidance for compositi on of dialectical inquiry in IS. Drawing on foundational works in dialecti cs and 63 IS studies\, the framework offers six oppositional principles th at can guide IS researchers in composing dialectical inquiry by iterativel y considering 1) relations to examine how phenomena constitute through int errelated sociotechnical opposites\, 2) construction of the sociotechnical phenomenon in response to these oppositional forces\, and 3) time in acco unting for how the oppositional forces translate into sociotechnical chang e. By offering a coherent methodology for examining sociotechnical change\ , the framework enhances the rigor by which authors\, reviewers\, and edit ors can compose and evaluate dialectical inquiry.\n DTSTART:20240426T143000Z DTEND:20240426T160000Z LOCATION:Room 046\, Bronfman Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1G5\, 1001 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Business & Management Research Centre: Raffaele Ciriello URL:/desautels/channels/event/business-management-rese arch-centre-raffaele-ciriello-356915 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
