The article examines methodology on research on management information systems and organization. The problem of selecting among different means of measurement of information in management science and other social science research is considered, along with the issue of construct validity in research on those optics. A variety of methodologies are examined including the marker variable approach, the latent method factor and the method-method pair technique. It is concluded that the complexities of research will prevent standardization of methodology.
