Drawing on Whitley's Theory of Scientific Change, the study analysed the degree of 'professionalisation' of the Information Systems Discipline, the overarching research question being 'To what extent is Information Systems a distinct and mature discipline in Australia?' The book chapters are structured around three main sections: a) the context of the study; b) the state case studies; and c) Australia-wide evidence and analysis. The book is crafted to be accessible to IS and non-IS types both within and outside of Australia. It represents a 'check point'; a snapshot at a point in time. As the first in a hoped for series of such snap-shots, it includes a brief history of IS in Australia, bringing us up to the time of this report. The editorial team comprises Guy Gable, architect and leader; Bob Smyth, project manager; Shirley Gregor, sponsor, host and co-theoretician; Roger Clarke, discipline memory; and Gail Ridley, theoretician. In phase two, the editors undertook to examine each component study, with a view to arriving at an Australia-wide perspective. 606 $aInformation technology$zAustralia 606 $aInformation technology$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$zAustralia 606 $aInformation storage and retrieval systems$xResearch 615 0$aInformation technology 615 0$aInformation technology$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aInformation storage and retrieval systems$xResearch. 676 $a004.6 702 $aGable$b Guy G. 702 $aGregor.
