(IS)4: is information systems interesting in itself?

Mark J Perry

European Journal of Information Systems, 2003, vol. 12, issue 3, 231-234

Abstract: The article comments on, and critiques, a view of IS as an independent discipline. It argues that, rather than being a subject that is distinct and distinguishable from existing research disciplines, it cannot be seen as uniquely different, and to attempt to do so would be theoretically and practically unsafe. A number of suggestions as to how IS research might be conducted and assessed in light of this claim are made.
