چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to an innovative use of literature in social science research where the literature may not only be seen as a secondary source of data (Strauss & Corbin 1990) but may also serve as the basis for theory building (Lewis & Grimes 1999; Saunders et. al. 1999). This will be exemplified by attempting to construct a theory of ‘IS business value’ from the literature.
