This incisive Handbook addresses the growing interdependence of Information Systems (IS) and Operations Management (OM) as connected fields within organisational research. Contributors outline the core problems across IS and OM, develop relevant theories to advance research at the IS-OM interface and understand the potential applications of IS-OM interface research.

Explaining the field's historical foundations, contributors outline how research at the IS-OM interface often faces legitimacy and acceptance challenges despite increasing collaboration. Chapters identify key methodological and theoretical commonalities, such as similar analytical methods, whilst also highlighting how they differ significantly in their primary objectives. In addition, they explore how both employ approaches from economics, sociology, psychology and the physical sciences. In doing so, the Handbook enhances the impact and relevance of integrated IS-OM research.

The Handbook on Information Systems and Operations Management is an essential resource for scholars and students of business management and organisational theory, especially those interested in the relationship between IS and OM. Underscoring the practical applications of the research, its insights are also highly beneficial for OM practitioners.
