Abstract: Does research in the French-speaking world follow that of the English-speaking world? What differences are there? This article deals with the question in the field of Management Information Systems. Does research in the Frenchspeaking world deal with the same problematic as research in the Englishspeaking world? Do they deal with similar fields of application? Do they choose the same levels of analysis? Do they refer to the same epistemology? Do they use the same methodology? The first section covers the general results obtained from 25 years of MIS literature. The second part compares 763 research articles from a common 15-year period: an ?engineering? perspective for the Englishspeaking world and subjects related to ?MIS activities? for the French-speaking world. The third section then presents historical evolutions while separating the two samples: certainly we can discuss the ?independence? of each community without speaking of systematic ?tailgating?.
