I am interested in gaining knowledge about the areas that researchers are interested in and do a lot of research.
From security point view, there are several areas for MIS such as risk management, audit and assurance and analyzing human factors and many more.
I think information and data preservation is a hot topic right now, mostly related -but not necessarily- to digital repositories (see OAIS norm, aka ISO 14721)
Most of research areas in MIS are empirical. They concern with evaluation of existing IS, ERP adoption, SOA adoption, SOA Maturity Models. In Oman, the integration and the interoperability of the legacy systems is of paramount importance, where Web services and SOA play critical roles
Another area that could be very interesting is the alignment between Management and Information Systems. Considering that management is a business area and information systems a more technological area. This leads to the alignment of the MIS to the business needs as another research area, that helps also the clarification of what the MIS should do too.
Other "hot" areas right now are: business analytics/data analytics/business intelligence, IT in health care, and consumerization of IT. The business analytics area is super hot given the number of schools that are looking to fill spots in their faculty with people who have those skills.
Keynote Speaker, Prof. Dr. Seddon in recent conference I attend talking about Social Informatics. You can explore this field deeper if you are interested in this research topic.
I would go for IT-Business strategic alignment, IT governance, social media, business intelligence related, and e-business.
Thank you all for your contribution.
I conclude from your posts that there are many hot areas and topics that can be focused on which is related to MIS. These are: Cloud BPM, Business intelligence, MIS to business, Data preservation, Social Informatics and e-Business.
IT-Business strategic alignment is suggested by henderson is a very hot topic as well
In case you are still stuck in IS research topics, here are some of the latest:
Big data, data mining, Business Intelligent tools and techniques, Social commerce, Fog computing, Internet of Things, Dark web. and Mobile payments.
Area of MIS Topics : Effects of globalisation on the IT industry
Internet governance in social, political & legal implications
strategic business modeling and simulation.
HRIS
Use of ICT and social media for crisis management by terror attacks, natural and industrial disasters
Big Data, Social media as an effective watchdog in ensuring sanity for good governance.
Human Language Technology is an interesting area of M.I.S research one could consider,
There are many trend topics (IoT, Cloud computing, Colud systems like Cloud ERP, Big Data, Gig and Platform economy ect. and their effects on business) related to MIS.
blockchain, cloud technology and its applications, Big Data, and Social media
data processing,expert system application in management,data mining, big data analysis and business intelligence
Business intelligence, big data, data mining and social commerce. Good luck:)
Another main stream is in the area of social business and social enterprise. IoT, big data and data analytics and cloud computing are buzz words now but please do not forget to reflect their impact on business organizations.
We are into similar research and are open for collaboration
alright i guess big data and relate it with health care for prediction diseases such as (coronavirus ).
You can write in the field of information systems governance and green information technologies
There are many areas in management information systems, for example information management, green information technology, information security are all good topics and I am ready to help in conducting joint research.
This is so great Mohammed, think over and share. I can also participate in the joint research.
Interesting topic...I'm also willing to participate in conducting research sir Mohammed and Ma'am Jackline
Hi. The areas are:
process control systems, human resource management systems, sales and marketing systems, inventory control systems, office automation systems, enterprise resource planning systems, accounting and finance systems and management reporting systems.
