Social Science Readings for MIS Courses

http://geocities.com/lumbanbulus/4.html

I would like to know if there should be a separate senior/master
class that discusses Social Science issues like "Philosophy,
Paradigms, Epistemology, and Ontology". Or, should those issues
be inserted in a "Research Methodology" class?

Is it safe to argue that "Burrell and Morgan's Sociological
Paradigms and Organizational Analysis" (Heineman 1979 Ch. 1-3)"
is more than enough for what an MIS fellow needs to know?

Last, I am interest to collect a list of articles in Research
Methodology and Philosophy. Please send me 5-20 titles of what
are believed to be "must read" and "classical".
