behavioral research is different from empirical research... i believe behavioral is still the dominant field in MIS research, and there is no surprise 90% of the articles in MISQ and ISR are behavioral...

information systems & economics is a third field, neither behavioral nor design; its research can be either analytical or empirical; look at something from MIT, Wharton, Rochester, etc.. to get some idea; and there is or was something called "workshop on is&e" or something similar

汗~之前看到你说 MIS 是最差的专业。。为什么。。

这个专业是将IT技术与管理结合。。不是应该很好找工作么

For research, most of the time, It is dangerous to be inter-disciplinary, especially when we are not understanding well each specific area and the interface. It is very difficult to develop good theories that capture both sides and are widely accepted by researchers from both sides.  

For industry job, it is also dangerous to be inter-disciplinary for a graduate without much experience in either side. The benefits from the synthesis of knowledge only become more valuable after you enter the top management.

The job market for IS Ph.D. graduates, here, we are taking the academic position openings, depends on the rigor of the discipline and its value industry/demand from industry. The IS concentration has many problems in both academic rigorous and industry demand.

I agree with Allen_LeeIS.

Most of the PhD graduates here will go to academic and the IS faculty demand is decreasing these years since 2003.

IS research lies on the interface between information technology and management. From the technology side, we cannot compete computer science. On the management side, we contribute little to the literature. It is the result of IT bubble.

But for masters, it is another story.

Thank you for your help.

看到前面的回复有一点是这样滴：）Economic也分empirical和modeling。而且现在大部分的economic也在偏向做实证。

但是还有一个问题是~为啥CMU啊，NYU,MIT这些名校都那么经济。那么是不是意味着想去名校做老师，还是学经济比较好。另外，MISQ, ISR 大部分的文章都是行为。为什么现在的就业市场真的看起来很经济呢？我查了一些有名学校新进的老师，感觉大部分都是学经济的。

弱问下？？

My perception is that OB is better than MIS.

Perhaps the job markets for MIS and OB are the worst two in business schools.

Usually, behavior gets better jobs, especially the ones get training from Minnesota and its derivatives. But there is a upper trend for Economics Modeling these years. Especially this year, there are several openings in top school all looking for Modeling, such as CMU, UA, U Washington, UTD. Even for Minnesota itself.  One reasone is that Econ seems to be more rigorous than the other two Design Science and Behavioral Science. Another thing might be a fad. People always want to change Who knows what happens in future. But overall, the job market for MIS is the worst among all the B-School.

Thanks for you!

Many people say ECON is the tomorrow of IS, but OB is just the yesterday. But who knows in the future. So just choose according to your interest.  I think.
