The purpose of this book is to highlight major debates in Information
Technology (“IT”) that might be of interest to fledgling MIS students to
help them get a sense of the big ideas in their field. This book is
intended for graduate and undergraduate audiences but is easily
accessible to practitioners and students alike. Each big idea is
presented as a resolution for discussion, one per chap-ter, and each
chapter opens with a broad overview of the resolution, followed by pro
and con discussions weighing the merits of the issue. These informative
chapters should help students quickly get up to speed on the facts of
the issue in order to stimulate more fruitful class discussion.
Chapters were authored and reviewed entirely by graduate students as
part of an online class project spanning two semesters from 2013 to
2014. Over 80 students contributed to writing it. Faculty editorship
enhanced the chapters’ consistency and where necessary, smoothed the
writing style. As a whole, this work embodies an important achievement
for which these students should be commended. It shows (once again) just
how capable students really are.
