Monograph: Researching Accounting as an Information Systems Discipline
Researching Accounting as an Information Systems Discipline is the culmination of over two years of work by the Information Systems Section. The AIS research monograph is intended to fulfill the needs of three primary sets of stakeholders in the IS section. The first objective is to provide a source book for use in AIS doctoral seminars. This objective includes a desire to provide a valuable synthesis of the literature to facilitate broad coverage of the AIS domain within the short confines of semester- or quarter-length courses and to motivate doctoral students to pursue studies in AIS research.
