臺灣資訊管理研究之回顧與展望

Information Systems Research in Taiwan: A Review and Perspective

資訊管理研究是以資訊科技與資訊系統為核心，探討其對個人、組織及社會的影響，因應資通訊科技的進步，資訊管理研究也隨之改變，本文針對發表於國內TSSCI管理類期刊，自1981至2014年間共1213篇與資訊管理相關主題的論文，及台灣學者發表在五大國際資訊管理期刊的364篇論文進行歸納整理，透過彙整分析不同時期的資管研究重點，來了解不同研究議題的發展趨勢。結果顯示在主題方面，發表數量最多的是「資訊系統在企業的應用」相關論文，顯示資管學者對於企業應該如何善用資訊系統的問題非常重視。其次，影響論文主題演化最大的因素是不同資訊科技的進展，由早期的系統開發到最近的網際網路應用與電子商務，都跟資訊科技的發展有密切的關係，資管學者掌握創新資訊技術的發展與應用，是掌握資管研究發展的關鍵。本文也提出幾個未來發展的重要研究方向，提供給學者參考。

Information systems (also called management information systems, MIS) is an area that targets at investigating impacts of information technologies on individual, organization, and society. The discipline has evolved into a mature discipline in the past three decades. In Taiwan, MIS is one of the most popular areas due to the strong manufacturing capability of computer and information equipment. Scholars have published a number of research papers in domestic and international journals. The purpose of this research is to review the papers published by Taiwanese scholars to show the evolution of previous research and possible future directions. A total of 1213 IS papers from seven TSSCI journals and 364 papers from 5 international journals between 1981 and 2014 were identified. These papers were classified based on the framework by Liang and Chen (2005). The results show that ＂IS applications in business＂ was the most popular research theme. Moreover, the development of information technology was the major driving force, which indicates that following the development trend of new information technology is the key to capture the mainstream MIS research. A few new directions for the future are also outlined in the paper.
