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

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.

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.
