한국 경영정보학 연구 경향 분석 : 1974-1993

This study analyzed 89 MIS published in Korea since 1974. The keyword classification scheme proposed by Barki et al. [1993] was employed to classify researched themes of the papers. Research methods and research variables were also examined. The results showed that (1) the Korean MIS research focused on DSS/ES, IS evaluation, IS development and operations, (2) nonempirical studies took 46% of the 89 papers while survey method was frequently used in empirical studies, (3) in empical studies, user-related variables were most frequently included as dependent variable while organization-related variables were most frequently selected as independent variable. Some recommendations for the future MIS research in Korea were suggested.
