Title:
Reflection on Information Systems and Data Centric Research
Abstract:
Since the dawn of Information Systems (IS) as a new academic discipline 50 years ago, IS has grown into a mature discipline. However, IS has many reference disciplines and has many fractions such as design science, behavioral science, organizational science, and IS economics. This fractional view makes the IS discipline complex to study by doctoral students and difficult to understand by other disciplines. The presenter will show that the current factional view is based more on research methodology and less on research outcome. Further, there is a noticeable trend that various research fractions are converging towards data-centric research paradigms in the big data era. A new literature platform called ISTopic.org under development in City University of Hong Kong and several data centric papers he has published in MISQ, JoC, and I&M will be outlined as part of this talk.
