“…The Computing Research Association (1999) holds that in the field of computer science conference publication is both rigorous and prestigious. This clearly transfers to the engineering aspects of information systems, whereas IS research in business schools has emphasized user attitudes, perceptions, and acceptances at the organizational, group, and user level (Hardaway et al, 2008). Reasons for this may stem from influence from the other business disciplines, school culture, and the need of junior faculty to "fit in" while pursuing tenure.…”

“…Business schools tend to emphasize behavioral science. This has led to a call to institute more technology in IS programs (Hardaway, Mathieu, & Will, 2008). At the same time, there has been in recent years growth in creating schools of technology, separating IS from business and housing it with other computing disciplines (Denning, 2001;Mitchell et al, 2003).…”

Executive SummaryThe diversity of IS programs and research has been of interest to various professions. It has been argued that IS has developed to the extent where it does not have to rely on other reference disciplines, but should rather serve as a reference discipline for other disciplines. While IS may have developed its own discipline, its location in different academic units may influence the venue of faculty publications. The understanding of the relationships between venue of publication and location of IS programs will influence curriculum development especially at the doctoral level and inform faculty placement decisions. In this paper, we examine IS research that falls into the professional categories of business, engineering, education, and library science for faculty from information systems programs. We examined the research publications of the faculty from the twenty-four IS programs accredited by ABET Inc. The data shows that irrespective of the location of the IS program, over 50% of the faculty publications are in the Engineering venue. Further, the results indicate that the location of the IS program influences the publication venue. We also suggest that the tenure and promotion requirements also influence the venue of the publications of IS faculty. Our research contributes to both professional practice and scholarly research. In academia, we suggest that the interest of the faculty may influence their employment locations and research venues.Keywords: IS research, IS discipline, Education, IS programs, Research venues, ABET, program location IntroductionInformation, to be a useful organizational resource, must be structured for easy storage and retrieval.

“…Although much of empirical research uses the above models to explain ERP life cycles on organizations, only a few research applied to the education field adopts quantitative models (Alshare and Lane, 2011;Richardson and Tan, 2005). Instead, most studies choose qualitative methods to explain the process and benefits of ERP introduction in students curricula (Beekhuyzen and Gasston, 2002;Hardaway et al, 2008;Hawking et al, 2005;Schwald, 2011;Stewart et al, 2004;Strong et al, 2006;Theling and Loos, 2005).…”

Management learning poses some challenges, firstly students should identify all administration areas and secondly, they should understand the big picture of an organizational context, by integrating all the studied areas. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are the backbone of any organization, in terms of information management systems integration. The usage of these systems is important in terms of management in any organization, and ERP's can facilitate the management learning process. The main objectives of this study are to understand if the ERP usage supports management learning, and to identify the main determinants of individual performance. This study presents a success model of ERP usage for learning management context. The model was validated empirically through a survey answered by university management students. The results show that system quality, process quality, and training play a determinant role in the students' performance.

“…Strong, Fedorowicz, Sager, Stewart, et al [2006] analysed and provided advice on teaching strategies that are used for enterprise system units within the Information System curriculum at a tertiary education level. Hardaway, Mathieu, and Will [2008] argued that the IS discipline needs to have a more hands-on practical approach with IT technologies such as ERP systems as opposed to a mere theoretical teaching view. Finkelstein [2009] discussed the importance and benefits of universities encouraging their students to be interns for organisations and discussed management techniques companies can use with interns.…”

The domain of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is an enduring paradigm for Information Systems (IS) researchers. The Enterprise System paradigm provides a rich environment to test fundamental concepts like system adoption, system use and system success, while acknowledging changes derived through longer system lifecycles and multiple user cohorts. On the other hand, ERP systems are in the centre of new contemporary radical changes in technologies on cloud computing, mobile platforms and big data. Moreover, ERP Systems provide the context for cross disciplinary research such as change management, knowledge management, project management and business process management research. This article provides a critique of 219 papers published on ERP Systems from 2006-2012, making observations of ERP research and make recommendations for future research directions.
