The main purpose of this course is to examine the research foundations of the discipline of Management Information Systems (MIS). The class is conducted as weekly seminar, where some seminal papers of the MIS research are discussed by participants, with an emphasis of applying the theoretical underpinnings to students’ thesis proposals. The range of academic research papers spans several decades and different mythological and epistemological paradigms. Students in this course will learn how to apply the theoretical underpinnings of MIS research to their own research topics, how to build their own research model, and eventually how to conduct academic research project.
