What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
David E. Avison mainly focuses on Knowledge management, Management science, Management information systems, Action research and Soft systems methodology.
His Knowledge economy study in the realm of Knowledge management connects with subjects such as Workaround.
He works mostly in the field of Management science, limiting it down to concerns involving Process and, occasionally, Resource.
His Management information systems study focuses on Strategic information system in particular.
In his study, Epistemology is inextricably linked to Qualitative research, which falls within the broad field of Action research.
His Information engineering research focuses on subjects like Information architecture, which are linked to Systems engineering.
He most often published in these fields:
- Knowledge management (29.03%)
- Management science (15.48%)
- Management information systems (14.19%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2017)?
- Knowledge management (29.03%)
- Public relations (10.97%)
- Action research (13.55%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Knowledge management, Public relations, Action research, Epistemology and Management information systems.
His study on Knowledge economy is often connected to Workaround as part of broader study in Knowledge management.
His work carried out in the field of Public relations brings together such families of science as Project stakeholder, Project management, Project management triangle and Strategic planning.
His Action research research incorporates themes from Hermeneutics, Engineering ethics and Participatory action research.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Qualitative research and Linguistics in addition to Epistemology.
His research in the fields of Strategic information system and Soft systems methodology overlaps with other disciplines such as Information technology.
Between 2009 and 2017, his most popular works were:
- Developing a unified framework of the business model concept (459 citations)
- Is theory king?: questioning the theory fetish in information systems (71 citations)

- The Internet
David E. Avison spends much of his time researching Action research, Knowledge management, Research method, Positivism and Strategic information system.
His work on Enterprise resource planning as part of general Knowledge management research is frequently linked to Workaround, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Positivism study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Service, Engineering ethics, Client organization and Common-method variance.
His study with Strategic information system involves better knowledge in Management information systems.
In the subject of general Management information systems, his work in Soft systems methodology is often linked to Information technology, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His Soft systems methodology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Epistemology and Management science.
