Exploring the software engineering component in MIS research

, and . Communications of the ACM, 38 (7): 80--91 (1995)

Abstract

The academic study of management information systems (MIS) is a recent addition to most universities. Because of its arrival, because of the youth of business schools compared to other colleges in universities, and because of the insecurity and uncertainty that marks youth, its study is accompanied by introspective studies and commentaries about what MIS is and what it should accomplish. As recently as 1980, a founder of the field, Peter Keen, wrote, “At present, MIS research is a theme rather than a substantive field. Perhaps MIS will eventually be absorbed"
