Information systems evaluation has been a thorny problem in modern organizational decisions.For several decades,researchers have been studying the problem,and developed many methods to solve it,but they are unsuccessful.This paper analyses the underlying philosophical issues of the different evaluation researches,indicates that the limitations existing in the philosophical foundations are the roots which lead to the research predicament,and proposes that researchers should transcend the dualism of positivism and interpretivism,and explore a dialectic solution.
