A Narrative Approach to Publishing Information Systems Research: Inspiration from the French New Novel Tradition

AVISON David , MALAURENT Julien , EYNAUD P.

In this paper, we suggest an alternative way of producing Information Systems (IS) case studies in which researchers act as narrators of stories following the spirit and techniques of the French New Novel (FNN). As such, authors attempt to represent the richness of a problem situation. The readers’ role is more demanding compared to traditional case studies, as they have to play detectives to discover meaning from the narrative. Link to the article
