  1. MIS 696a/797aFinal Project Final Report December 15, 1999

  2. Introduction • MIS Defined: A management information system is the complement of people, machines, and procedures that develops the right information and communicates it to the right managers at the right time.

  3. MIS Theory Three main schools of thought: • Technological Imperative: “Impact of technology.” • Organizational Imperative: “Rational actors choose technologies.” • Emergent: Intersection of technologies and people creates complex interactions.

  43. Key Controversies • Academic legitimacy. • Legitimacy of MIS as an academic discipline is not established. • Methods and methodologies. • Natural science v. social science background of researchers: • Survey methodology. • Case study research. • Multiple methodologies and methods. • System-building approach.

  44. Behavioral Technical 1 2 3 4 5 5 4 Relevance Rigor 3 2 1 Conclusion 8 13 14 10 2 11 7 7 13 9

  45. Conclusion • Field is well balanced • Rigor/Relevance Axis is centered and slightly skewed toward relevance, indicating a good balance between Rigor and Relevance. • Behavioral/Technical Axis is bi-modal, indicating that the discipline is split between the behavioral and the technical. • Existing/Emerging Axis is evenly distributed across the fields showing a balanced portfolio of subjects.
