Incorporating polarity of relationships in ISM and TISM for theory building in information and organization management

作者:

Highlights:

• This is a methodology based paper that enhances the ISM and TISM methods by incorporating the polarity of relationships.

• This draws inspiration from system dynamics methodology that uses polarity of relationships.

• The polarity of relationships is useful for theory building in information and organization management.

• It gives the steps of the modified TISM process with the polarity of relations (TISM-P).

• The methodology is illustrated in the context of information and organizational change management with implications.
