Information, Human Activity and the Nature of Relevant Theories

C. J. Tully *

Department of Computer Science, University of York, Heslington, UK

This paper discusses the need for a sound and effective theory about information and human activity, to underpin research, teaching and practice in information systems. It tries to undertake a preliminary clearing of the present conceptual jungle. Definitions are offered of some formal concepts; contributory areas of theory are identified; and the dimensions of the required theory are suggested.
