The Minnesota PhD program in management information systems: underlying philosophical views and operational decisions

The authors first describe the philosophical view of management information systems (MIS) as an academic and scholarly research field. The Minnesota philosophical view of an MIS doctoral program is then presented. The operational implications of these philosophical views are described in terms of curricular decisions and program management.<<ETX>>
