Business informatics as a research discipline
by Wm. Benjamin Martz Jr., Teuta Cata
International Journal of Teaching and Case Studies (IJTCS), Vol. 1, No. 1/2, 2007

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to develop a research model for the business informatics discipline. Borrowing concepts from a range of complementary areas, including Warfield's General System's Design, McGrath et al.'s Knowledge Accrual Process, the ongoing IT Artifact discussion in the Information Systems (IS) literature base, and the characteristics of information, a model (Figure 2) is developed and discussed. The final section of the paper reconciles the model with several of the key concerns currently found in academic discussion over IS as a discipline. A final definition using Mason and Mitroff's format as a guide is presented.
