“…In addition, in the 1990s and 2000s, there was a broader thrust on process and competitiveness issues [Ives and Learmonth 1984;Bakos and Treacy 1986;Parsons 1983;Segars and Grover 1999;Sambarmurthy, Bharadwaj, and Grover 2003]. There was also work focused on specialized research areas such as knowledge transfer [Lin et al 2005], IT skills training [Piccoli et al 2001], database [Lai 1996], human-computer interaction [Zhang and Li 2005], e-commerce customer relationship management [Romano and Fjermestad 2001], and group support systems [Nagasundaram and Bostrom 1994;Pervan 1998].…”

This article inductively examines the question of the IS field's core. We argue that as a socially constructed field, the core aspects of IS can be identified from the work conducted and published by members of the IS community. The abstracts (including titles) of 1,197 IS studies in three premier IS journals for the past 26 years were examined to identify the core of the field and explore its evolving nature with the help of a neural network software as the analysis tool. The field, contextual, transitory, and evolving core of IS are identified through the analysis of 267,034 words in the knowledge base constructed. The results show both stability and evolution of the core of IS field. The three journals examined show sufficient commonality on the core of the field, with slightly different preferences for research topics and methods. Given the diverse nature of the IS field, we believe that such a retrospective and descriptive study can document evidence of the "core" and facilitate a better understanding of the evolution of the field.

“…Several studies have been conducted to systematically assess the intellectual evolution of the IS discipline (Alavi and Carlson, 1992;Cheon et al, 1992;Culnan, 1987;Lending and Wetherbe, 1992;Teng and Galletta, 1991;Vessey et al, 2002). Similar assessments have been performed on several specific sub-disciplines of MIS (Lai, 1996;Pervan, 1998;Romano and Fjermestad, 2001).…”

As one of the five research streams of the Management Information Systems (MIS) discipline, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) was predicted to resurge in the postmillennium era. To date, however, few studies have either synthesized existing studies or drawn an overarching picture of this sub-discipline. This study delineates the intellectual development of HCI research in MIS by a multifaceted assessment of the published HCI articles over a period of 13 years (1990-2002) in seven prime MIS journals: MISQ, ISR, JMIS, Decision Sciences, Management Science, DATA BASE, and JAIS. Twenty-two specific questions are addressed to answer the following five general research questions about the HCI sub-discipline: (1) What constitutes its intellectual substance? (2) What relationships does it have with other disciplines? (3) What are its recent evolutions? (4) What are the patterns of publishing HCI studies in the primary MIS journals? And, (5) Who are its contributing members? We use classification approach to address these questions. Descriptive analyses, including co-occurrence and cross-facet analyses, depict the key relationships. Trend analyses demonstrate recent evolutions. We present a number of areas for future research, along with a discussion of potential future directions for the sub-discipline. This study should be of interest to researchers in this sub-discipline, in the MIS discipline, and in other related disciplines for future research, collaboration, publication, and education. It should also be of interest to doctoral students to identify potential research topics for dissertation research and to

“…In line with other researchers performing literature studies (Alavi and Carlson 1992;Barothy et al 1995;Lai 1996), we classify the contrib~~tions In the data material in empirical articles, where the work was based on empirical data and nonempirical articles, which in turn are pr~marily based on Ideas, frameworks and speculation instead of systemat~c obseivation and data collection Empmcal IT and IS research has been classified d~ffe~ently by different researchers Based on the uork of Orlikowski and Baroud~ (1991).
