【摘要】 系统分析了中国信息系统(IS)研究的现状,从参考学科、研究题目、研究方法和分析层次4个方面,分析了1999—2003年间发表在18种中国代表性学术期刊上的IS论文,并与西方IS研究进行了比较.研究发现中国IS研究:1)从多个学科中获得理论基础,没有单一的参考学科;2)研究题目集中在组织类问题和系统/软件类问题;3)研究方法以非实证方法为主,实证方法应用很少;4)分析层次集中在组织层和系统层,对小组/团队层和个体层问题少有研究.与西方相比,中国的IS研究在理论基础、研究重点和研究方法上具有自己的特点,也有需要进一步完善的地方.更多还原

【Abstract】 The study aims to review research in information systems(IS) in China in recent years and to identify the similarities and the differences between North American and Chinese IS research from four perspectives: reference discipline,researches topics,research methods,and unit and level of analysis.A total of 604 research papers published in 18 academic journals in China from 1999 to 2003 were identified and reviewed.A categorization approach developed in previous studies was adopted to classify the IS research.The results show: 1) IS itself represented the major reference discipline used as the theoretical basis for the studies,and IS research in China does not demonstrate reliance on a single theory;2) IS researchers in China have clearly focused on organizational and system/software issues;3) Non-Empirical Study was dominant in the field of IS research in China;4) the majority of studies were conducted at the organization and system level.Group/team and individual level issues were not studied extensively.Compared with western IS research,Chinese IS field is still in the developing process.更多还原
