Abstract
Information system evaluation (ISE) is a critical research issue in the discipline of MIS. Based on a review of the literature, the major research trends prefer the positivist method and the research focuses on the verification of theories. This approach is criticized for simplifying the phenomena from its complicated context in referring to the real meanings behind them.
To overcome this disconnection from the real meanings, the Adaptive Theory (AT) method is used to construct experience data with contextual meanings and which yields a new substantive theory based on the findings and extant theories. The qualitative data analysis techniques are utilized from the Grounded Theory (GT) to build up a solid and rigid process in coding and classifying.
The objective of this study is to develop a new ISE model to provide an integrated and inside view for advancing explanations of these phenomena.
