Introduction
In order to provide a comprehensive view of the research field of MIS, we have divided the field into seven main research categories. The seven categories we chose are as follows:
Collaboration / Communication
Database / System Analysis
Economics of IT
KM / AI / IR
HCI / Psychology
Operations Research
Policy, Ethics, & Social Issues
Workflow
The main sections of the paper are divided into these seven categories. Within each sub discipline, we have further divided the research into categories of 1) founding or watershed papers of events that have defined the sub discipline 2) current research in the sub discipline and finally 3) the researchers’ views of where the sub discipline is going in the future. The research papers that we present will be placed within this categorization scheme.
