COMMENTARY ON GILL AND BHATTACHERJEE: IS THERE AN INFORMING CRISIS?

Author List: Myers, Michael D.; Baskerville, Richard L.;

MIS Quarterly, 2009, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 663-665.

The article comments on the paper "Whom Are We Informing? Issues and Recommendations for MIS Research from an Informing Sciences Perspective" by G. Gill and A. Bhattacherjee (G&B), which appeared in an earlier issue of "MIS Quarterly." The authors questions G&B's contention that management information systems (MIS) as an academic discipline has a questionable future. In their view the academic status of MIS is sound, albeit susceptible to improvement. They evaluate G&B's arguments and recommendations, and offer their own.
