[ID#] 65 [Author(s)] Andrew Martin [Abstract] The terms theory and practice are embedded into everyday academic parlance, yet their appropriate mutual interaction is often either assumed or ignored. This paper rehearses the roles of theory and practice and considers ways in which they interact, from a practical as well as theoretical point of view, by means of a straightforward framework. It identifies and reflects on a number of paradoxes, potential confusion, tensions and gaps between them, referring to associated literature and focusing on examples from IS. The reader�s appreciation of the complementary roles of theory and practice is refreshed, and some difficulties are resolved. Other difficulties remain; the paper calls for more explicit recognition of practical issues, and for structures and cultures to encourage greater interaction between theory and practice. [Title]
