Saint Louis University professor speaks Oct. 30
Posted by Joe McCune
Dr. Fred Niederman, Shaughnessy Endowed Professor of Information Systems at Saint Louis University, will speak on “Reconsidering the Representation of Theory” from 10-11:30 a.m., Friday, Oct. 30, in Room 249 Toomey Hall. In this talk, he will argue that variance theory should be viewed as only one sort of “meta-theory.” He will discuss the elemental nature of theory, delineate several shortcomings of variance theory with the intention of showing the desirability of having a broader range of theory formats and present three alternatives to the variance viewpoint: process metatheory, co-evolution metatheory, and network metatheory.
