Abstract
This paper assesses the current standard MIS class that is part of a standard MBA. The needs for information technology education has been changing rapidly but the textbooks that are used have only been evolving slowly. Has a mismatch been reached? What should be done now? This paper argues that there are two revolutionary, rather than evolutionary, alternatives.
