MIS research directions:a survey of researchers' views

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Teng, James T. C. Galletta, Dennis F.
Abstract	Several studies have addressed important issues for MIS Research, but until now no empirical studies have been conducted to asses how MIS researchers themselves view the relatively new field. This survey of 397 MIS researchers revealed preferences for research methods and current areas of concentration, current studies being conducted, publication history, and other factors of interest. It found the subjects' assessment of the quality of MIS research relatively low and that they feel there is an overemphasis on transient topics, rather than on topics of lasting significance. There is continuing evidence of fragmentation in the field. Few MIS researchers appear to rely on research frameworks. However, there is overall optimism that the quality of MIS research has been improving, and will continue to improve in the future. Implications for the future of MIS research are then discussed.
