Hi, Lareina, I thought you were in the OM track. Actually, I got admitted to PhD in MIS in your school this year but I didn't accept the offer.
Could you get a Master in the program? I know several MIS professors in your school are doing more technological stuff like data mining. That would be of help to find a industrial job. If you prefer to go to industry, I suggest you get a master since completing the PhD won't be a big plus.
