Abstract

This article¹^,² has two aligned aims: (i) to espouse the value of a strategic research orientation for the Information Systems Discipline; and (ii) to facilitate such a strategic orientation by recognising the value of programmatic research and promoting the publication of such work. It commences from the viewpoint that Information Systems (IS) research benefits from being strategic at every level, from individual researcher, to research program, to research discipline and beyond. It particularly advocates for more coordinated programs of research emphasising real-world impact, while recognising that vibrant, individual-driven and small-team research within broad areas of promise, is expected to continue forming the core of the IS research ecosystem. Thus, the overarching aim is the amplification of strategic thinking in IS research – the further leveraging of an orientation natural to the JSIS community, with emphasis on research programs as a main strategic lever, and further considering how JSIS can be instrumental in this aim.

观点:信息系统研究策略

本文1,2有两个一致的目标:(i)支持信息系统学科战略研究方向的价值;(ii)通过承认规划研究的价值和促进此类工作的发表，促进这种战略导向。它从信息系统(IS)研究受益于从个体研究人员到研究项目，到研究学科等各个层面的战略。它特别倡导更加协调的研究项目，强调对现实世界的影响，同时认识到，在广阔的前景领域内，充满活力的、个人驱动的、小团队的研究有望继续形成信息系统研究生态系统的核心。因此，总体目标是扩大is研究中的战略思维——进一步利用JSIS社区的自然取向，强调研究项目作为主要的战略杠杆，并进一步考虑JSIS如何在这一目标中发挥作用。
