A Longitudinal Study of the Management Information systems (Mis) Job Market
The rapidly changing information technology (IT) environment poses a significant and growing challenge for management information systems (MIS) managers and academicians. This research examines the content of job advertisements over a 15 year period to explore the impact that changes in the IT environment have had on the MIS job market. Results trace the rise and fall in demand for certain MIS skills and knowledge and point to the strength and stability of other skills. The study demonstrates the growing diversity in the MIS job market which has led many companies to broaden the base of IT used to support their operations.
