本文通过审查从最近发表的IS案例研究中选出的案例研究，讨论了实证主义研究哲学与IS研究中日益兴起的解释性研究哲学之间的差异，因为它们与案例研究有关。每一种观点都对案例研究有不同的重视，反映了不同的看待现实和追求有效知识的方式。这是一个重要的认识，可以帮助我们理解经常出现的关于案例研究作为一种研究方法的性质和地位的争论。
This paper discusses the differences between a positivist research philosophy and one which is increasingly emerging in IS research - an interpretive research philosophy, as they relate to case research, by examining selected case studies drawn from recent published IS case research. Each perspective places a different emphasis on case research, reflecting different ways of viewing reality and the pursuit of valid knowledge. This is an important realisation that can help us understand the debate that often arises over the nature and stature of case studies as a method for conducting research.
