  1. MIS A Model of the MIS Domain and its Important Papers, Key Contributors, and Leading Research Universities MIS 696A Dec 16, 2004 Dr. Jay Nunamaker

  2. Project Objectives • Build on existing mappings of the MIS domain • Identify top academic contributors, adding a “completeness check” with sub-domain expert • Identify research papers within each sub-domain and re-classify them according to new framework • Display the landmark events for each discipline in a timeline format • Identify the top research institutions within the MIS domain

  3. Classification Framework Application Foundational Extension Technical Behavioral Exploratory Theory Review

  4. School Listing Methodology • Sources of rankings: • An Assessment of Individual and Institutional Research Productivity in MIS • Im, Kim, and Kim • Decision Line Dec/Jan 1998 • 50 schools • Follow-up to same study • Im, Kim, and Kim • Decision Line Sept/Oct 1998 • 50 schools

  5. School Listing Methodology • Sources of rankings: • An Evaluation of Research Productivity in Academic IT • Athey and Plotnicki • Communications of the AIS, March 2000 • 24 schools • U.S. News and World Report “Best Graduate Schools 2004” • MIS rankings • 26 schools • U.S. News and World Report “Best Graduate Schools 2005” • MIS rankings • 28 schools

  6. School Listing Results • Goal is to give an overview of academic institution choices to a prospective MIS student • Final List: 66 universities around the world • 57 in the United States • 3 in Canada • 6 elsewhere in the world

  7. School Listing Results - Tiers • Classified into tiers based on which studies schools were listed in • Ten tiers in all • Distinction made between “research-centric” and “student-centric” rankings • Research-centric: three studies that focused on research productivity • Student-centric: USN&WR rankings

  8. School Listing Results - Tiers • 5 tiers of schools listed in both research- and student-centric rankings: • Tier I (7 schools) • Tier II (4) • Tier III (6) • Tier IV (3) • Tier V (2)

  9. School Listing Results - Tiers • 3 tiers of schools listed in only the research-centric rankings: • Tier I Research (10 schools) • Tier II Research (16) • Tier III Research (8)

  10. School Listing Results - Tiers • 2 tiers of schools listed in only the student-centric rankings: • Tier I Teaching (5 schools) • Tier II Teaching (5)

  11. School Listing - Categorizations • We attempted to highlight the domain areas in which each of our schools participates • Four methods of identifying areas of interest: • Faculty interests • Funded labs • Key researchers • Department name
