Abstract

The following sections first put the research literature on international information systems in the wider context of information systems research in general. The second part will discuss the development of international information systems research literature and set out the ‘state-of-the-art’ at the end of 1994, when this research project was started. An overview of the literature since then concludes this review.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This compares well with Gallupe et al. (1999) who found 314 articles between 1990 and 1998, albeit in the much wider field of ‘information management’, i.e. in a wider spectrum of journals.

  2. 2.

    These are defined as: MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, Communications of the ACM (research articles only), Journal of Management Information Systems, Decision Sciences, IEEE Transactions on Communications and Software Engineering, and Management Science.

  3. 3.

    Journal of Global Information Management and Journal of Global Information Technology Management, respectively.

  4. 4.

    Gallupe et al (1999) found an even higher percentage: 46.2%, of papers had ‘Single Country’ studies as their research theme.

  5. 5.

    Kneitel’s (1980) case about Du Pont’s polymer sales system covers one application only.

  6. 6.

    Italics denote the Bartlett & Goshal classification.
