and implementation of mixed-method evaluations. In this study, a mixed-method conceptual framework was developed from the theoretical literature and then refined through an analysis of 57 empirical mixed-method evaluations. Five purposes for mixed-method evaluations are identified in this conceptual framework
Review: information technology and organizational performance: an integrative model of IT business value
, 2004
"... Despite the importance to researchers, managers, and policy makers of how information technology (IT) contributes to organizational performance, there is uncertainty and debate about what we know and don’t know.

information technology and organizational performance are divergent in how they conceptualize key constructs and their interrelationships. We develop a model of IT business value based on the resource-based view of the firm that integrates the various strands of research into a single framework. We apply
Ontologies and knowledge bases: Towards a terminological clarification
- Towards very Large Knowledge bases: Knowledge Building and Knowledge sharing
, 1995
"... The word “ontology ” has recently gained a good popularity within the knowledge engineering community. However, its meaning tends to remain a bit vague, as the term is used in very different ways. Limiting our attention to the various proposals made in the current debate in AI, we isolate a number o ..."

on the use “Ontology ” (with the capital “o”) as a term which denotes a philosophical discipline, we analyse the possible confusion between an ontology intended as a particular conceptual framework at the knowledge level and an ontology intended as a concrete artifact at the symbol level, to be used for a
Approach and avoidance achievement goals: An intrinsic motivation analysis. Unpublished. doctoral dissertation

Supporting Ontological Analysis of Taxonomic Relationships
, 2001
"... Taxonomies are an important part of conceptual modeling. They provide substantial structural information, and are typically the key elements in integration efforts, however there has been little guidance as to what makes a proper taxonomy. We have adopted several notions from the philosophical pract ..."

These tools, identity, essence, unity, and dependence, provide a solid logical framework within which the properties that form a taxonomy can be analyzed. This analysis helps make intended meaning more explicit, improving human
