Abstract

The Work System Method (WSM) was developed in a series of ­publications over the last decade by Steven Alter. It is a significant theoretical development in the field of Information Systems (IS) and has a growing support base. This chapter satisfies the need in IS research and practice for a review of the major concepts in the WSM and the most recent developments in related research. It is based on extensive literature review of publications by the originator of the methodology and other authors as well as on the experience of the authors with it. Possible directions for future work are provided for enhancement of IS development and education.
