Author List: Gill, Grandon; Bhattacherjee, Anol;

MIS Quarterly, 2009, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 667-671.

The article presents commentary on a paper in the current issue entitled "Fashion Waves in Information Systems Research and Practice" by Baskerville and Myers (B&M). In their paper B&M identified correlations between topics covered in information systems (IS) practitioner and research literature, and based on those findings offered recommendations for the conduct of IS research. The authors evaluate those recommendations and express agreement with some of them, but offer a competing explanation for the patterns B&M observe in the literature.
