B. Summary iOf iArticle i

This iarticle idiscusses ithe iimportance iof icritical idiscourse ianalysis ias ia imethodology
ifor iconducting iliterature ireviews iin ithe ifield iof iinformation isystems. iThe iauthors iargue ithat
itraditional iliterature ireviews ioften ireproduce idominant iideologies iand ifail ito ichallenge

iperspectives, itheoretical iframeworks, iand imethods iin iinformation isystems iresearch,
iparticularly iin ithe iarea iof iinformation isecurity. iThey icall ifor iresearchers ito ibe iaware iof itheir

iassumptions iand ichallenge iideological ihegemony iin itheir iwork. iThe iarticle ialso ihighlights ithe
ilimitations iof ia ifunctional iperspective iand ithe ineed ifor icritical ianalysis iin iresearch. iOverall,
ithe iarticle iemphasizes ithe iimportance iof icritical idiscourse ianalysis iin iconducting
iliterature ireviews iand ipromoting idiverse iand icritical iperspectives iin iinformation
isystems iresearch.
There iare i3 ipeople ithat iwrite ithis ipaper, ithey iare iJeffrey iD.Wall i(School iof
ibusiness iand ieconomics, iMichigan iTechnological iUniversity, iUSA), isecond iBernd
iCarsten iStahl i(Centre ifor icomputing iand isocial iresponsibility, iDe iMontfort
iUniveristy, iLeicester, iUK) iand iAF iSalam i(Department iof iinformation isystem iand
isupply ichain imanagement, iUniversity iof iNorth iCarolina iat iGreensboro, iUSA), ithe
iresearch iconducted iin i2014. iThe iresearch iwas iconducted ito iaddress ithe ilimitations
iof itraditional iliterature ireviews iin ithe ifield iof iinformation isystems iand ito ipropose ia
imethod ithat ican iexpose iideological ihegemonies iand iopen iup inew iresearch iavenues.
iThe iauthors iargue ithat itraditional iliterature ireviews ioften ireproduce idominant
iideologies iand ifail ito ichallenge iassumptions, iand ithey iaim ito iprovide ia icritical
iperspective ithat ichallenges ithese itaken-for-granted iassumptions. iThe iresearch iseeks ito
ipromote idiverse iperspectives, itheoretical iframeworks, iand imethods iin iinformation
isystems iresearch, iparticularly iin ithe iarea iof iinformation isecurity. i

C. Agree i& iNot iAgree

I iagree iwith ithe iauthors' iargument ithat itraditional iliterature ireviews iin ithe
ifield iof iinformation isystems ioften ireproduce idominant iideologies iand ifail ito
ichallenge iassumptions. iThis ican ilimit ithe idiversity iof iperspectives iand itheoretical
iframeworks iin ithe iresearch. iThe iproposal ito iuse icritical idiscourse ianalysis ias ia
imethodology ifor iliterature ireviews iis ia ivaluable iapproach ito iaddress ithis iissue iand
ipromote ia imore icritical iand iinclusive iresearch ienvironment.

I ialso iagree iwith ithe iauthors' iemphasis ion ithe ineed ifor idiverse iperspectives,
itheoretical iframeworks, iand imethods iin iinformation isystems iresearch, iparticularly iin
ithe iarea iof iinformation isecurity. iThis iis iimportant ifor igenerating ia icomprehensive
iunderstanding iof ithe ifield iand iavoiding ithe iperpetuation iof iexisting ipower istructures
iand ihegemonies.

However, iI iwould ilike ito isee imore iclarity ion ithe ispecific isteps iand
iprocedures iinvolved iin iapplying ithe iproposed imethod iof icritical idiscourse ianalysis ito

6
iliterature ireviews. iThe iarticle iprovides ia igeneral ioverview iof ithe imethod iand iits
iunderlying iprinciples, ibut imore ispecific iguidance ion ihow ito iconduct ithe ianalysis
iwould ibe ihelpful ifor iresearchers iwho iwant ito iadopt ithis iapproach.

Additionally, iwhile ithe iarticle ihighlights ithe ilimitations iof itraditional iliterature
ireviews, iit idoes inot iprovide ia icomprehensive ianalysis iof ialternative imethods ior
iapproaches. iIt ifocuses iprimarily ion ithe iuse iof icritical idiscourse ianalysis iand idoes
inot iexplore iother ipotential imethodologies ithat icould ialso iaddress ithe ilimitations iof
itraditional ireviews.

Overall, iI iagree iwith ithe imain iarguments iand iobjectives iof ithe iresearch, ibut iI
ibelieve ithat ifurther idevelopment iand iclarification iof ithe iproposed imethod, ias iwell ias
iconsideration iof ialternative iapproaches, iwould istrengthen ithe iarticle's icontribution ito
ithe ifield. i

D. The iSpecific iIdea i

The ispecific iidea iof ithis iarticle iis ito ipropose iand idemonstrate ithe iuse iof
icritical idiscourse ianalysis ias ia imethodology ifor iconducting iliterature ireviews iin ithe
ifield iof iinformation isystems. iThe iauthors iargue ithat itraditional iliterature ireviews
ioften ireproduce idominant iideologies iand ifail ito ichallenge iassumptions. iThey
iadvocate ifor ithe iuse iof icritical idiscourse ianalysis ito iexpose iideological ihegemonies,
ipromote idiverse iperspectives, iand iopen iup inew iresearch iavenues. iThe iarticle
iprovides ian iempirical iexample iof iapplying ithis imethod ito ibehavioral iinformation
isecurity iresearch iand iemphasizes ithe iimportance iof icritical ireflexivity iin iinterpreting
ithe iliterature.

E. Assess iWhether iThe iAuthor iHas iAchieved iTheir iIntended

Based ion ithe iinformation iprovided iin ithe iarticle, iit ican ibe iassessed ithat ithe
iauthors ihave iachieved itheir iintended igoal iof iproposing iand idemonstrating ithe iuse iof
icritical idiscourse ianalysis ias ia imethodology ifor iconducting iliterature ireviews iin ithe
ifield iof iinformation isystems. iThe iauthors iargue ithat itraditional iliterature ireviews
ioften ireproduce idominant iideologies iand ifail ito ichallenge iassumptions, iand ithey
ipropose icritical idiscourse ianalysis ias ia imethod ito iexpose iideological ihegemonies iand
iopen iup inew iresearch iavenues.

7
 The iauthors iprovide ian iempirical iexample iof iapplying ithis imethod ito
ibehavioral iinformation isecurity iresearch, idemonstrating ihow icritical idiscourse ianalysis
ican ibe iused ito ianalyze iand icritique iexisting iliterature iin ithe ifield. iThey iemphasize
ithe ineed ifor idiverse iperspectives, itheoretical iframeworks, iand imethods iin iinformation
isystems iresearch, iparticularly iin ithe iarea iof iinformation isecurity, iand icall ifor
iresearchers ito ibe iaware iof itheir iassumptions iand ichallenge iideological ihegemony iin
itheir iwork.

Overall, ithe iarticle isuccessfully ipresents ithe iconcept iof icritical idiscourse
ianalysis ias ia imethodology ifor iconducting iliterature ireviews iand iprovides ian iexample
iof iits iapplication. iIt ihighlights ithe ilimitations iof itraditional ireviews iand ipromotes ia
imore icritical iand iinclusive iapproach ito iinformation isystems iresearch.

CLOSING

Conclusion

The iconclusion iof ithis iarticle iis ithat icritical idiscourse ianalysis iis ia ivaluable
imethodology ifor iconducting iliterature ireviews iin ithe ifield iof iinformation isystems. iIt
iallows iresearchers ito ichallenge idominant iideologies, iexpose iideological ihegemonies,
iand ipromote idiverse iperspectives iin iresearch. iThe iarticle iemphasizes ithe iimportance
iof icritical ireflexivity iin iinterpreting ithe iliterature iand icalls ifor iresearchers ito ibe
iaware iof itheir iassumptions iand ibiases. iIt ialso ihighlights ithe ipotential iof icritical
ireviews ito iprompt iscientific irevolutions iand icontribute ito ithe idevelopment iof inovel
iresearch iavenues. iHowever, ithe iarticle iacknowledges ithat icritical iresearch iis istill
iunderdeveloped iin ithe ifield iof iinformation isystems iand icalls ifor ifurther iimprovement
iand irefinement iof icritical imethodologies. iOverall, ithe iarticle iprovides ia ivaluable
icontribution ito ithe ifield iby ipromoting ia imore icritical iand iinclusive iapproach ito
