Exploring the management and organizational issues of information systems from a range of critical theory viewpoints, this book sets out key theoretical underpinnings of different critical approaches and considers the issues associated with designing critical methodologies for systems design and study.

Previous writings on critical approaches to information systems are fragmented. This text provides a coherent set of reference points for students and researchers to see the issues at levels of theory, method and practice as well as presenting a fuller picture of the different approaches that come under the critical umbrella. The review section at the end of the book applies a critical voice to the materials discussed in the preceding chapters.
The book consists of a collection of chapters from an international array of experts. They are lead researchers in the field and provide valuable insights for those studying and researching in the areas of information systems and general management, especially from a critical perspective.
