Abstract
A comprehensive framework for Management Information Systems (MIS) that attempts to define the domain of MIS research is proposed. The framework draws extensively from existing MIS frameworks and organizational theory concepts and definitions. Validation of the framework is accomplished by categorizing a cross-section of MIS literature within the framework.Keywords
