The development of IS faculty: toward a maturing MIS field

The development of IS faculty: toward a maturing MIS field This article considers the place of doctoral dissertations as they pertain to research methodology in the MIS area. The paper compares research methodologies utilized in doctoral dissertations with previous findings related to dissertations, published articles and researcher views. It further subdivides the dissertations by research area and by the size of the doctoral program. The study finds that MIS dissertations cover a wide variety of areas, and that empirical research, particularly experimental research and field studies are the most common form of dissertation research methodology. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM SIGMIS Database Association for Computing Machinery

Abstract

This article considers the place of doctoral dissertations as they pertain to research methodology in the MIS area. The paper compares research methodologies utilized in doctoral dissertations with previous findings related to dissertations, published articles and researcher views. It further subdivides the dissertations by research area and by the size of the doctoral program. The study finds that MIS dissertations cover a wide variety of areas, and that empirical research, particularly experimental research and field studies are the most common form of dissertation research methodology.
