| Course Title: | Foundational IS Theories and Emerging IS Phenomena |
Course
Description: | The information systems discipline is a dynamic and fast-moving field as research topics constantly evolve with fast-changing technological developments and digital innovations. Given that impactful research often combines novelty with conventionality (i.e., existing knowledge), the seminar will be a combination of foundational IS theories and research on emerging IS phenomena. |
| Oasis Title: | Emerging IS Phenomena |
Semester Course
Offered: | Offered fall and spring semester every year. |
| Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
|
| Course Objectives: | The major objectives of the seminar are for each student to develop a good understanding of (a) foundational IS theories and their applications, and (b) the recent state of research on emerging IS phenomena. Specifically, upon successful completion of this course, each student is expected to:
- have developed a sound understanding of the foundational IS theories discussed in class
- have developed an understanding of research on emerging IS phenomena discussed in class
- be able to critically evaluate the theories and research discussed
- have developed an ability to articulate original research ideas on the emerging IS phenomena covered in class and position their significance within the specific research domain |
| Topical Outline: | Topics and theories will vary but are based on areas of emerging and current IS phenomena. |
