separate

Use when building or refining the mechanism for an Information Systems Research (ISR) manuscript — deriving behavioral hypotheses for empirical work or analytical propositions/equilibrium predictions for modeling work, always centered on the IT artifact and the sociotechnical interplay across levels of analysis. Builds the theory; it does not test it (isr-methods, isr-data-analysis).

When to use

• deriving behavioral hypotheses for empirical work
• deriving analytical propositions for modeling work
• building causal mechanisms centered on IT artifacts
• specifying agents and payoffs for analytical models
• connecting behavioral and economic logic
• refining theory for ISR manuscripts

When not to use

• testing theory
• isr-methods
• isr-data-analysis
