Shameless plug alert …
I attend Temple University. I am a second year, full time MBA student concentrating in Information Technology Management (I guess you could have figured this out from this blog…) at the Fox School of Business.
MIS @ Fox is doing some pretty cool things these days.
Generated by an Association for Information Systems (AIS) publications survey, a number of rankings have put in the spotlight a handful of star Fox MIS department faculty for their quality of research. Namely:
- The research output of the Fox MIS Department has been ranked No. 1 in the world in the 2012. The department was ranked first for the period 2009-12, maintaining the leading position it has held for three years.
- Professor Paul A. Pavlou, director of the Fox School’s PhD program in business administration, is ranked the top MIS researcher in the world for the same three-year period.
- Fox Associate Professor of Marketing and MIS Angelika Dimoka, director of Temple’s Center for Neural Decision Making, was ranked No. 2.
- MIS Professor Youngjin Yoo, who directs Temple’s Center for Design+Innovation and is principal investigator on the university’s Urban Apps and Maps Studios, ranks 9th.
- MIS Associate Professor David Schuff, Fox’s director of innovation in learning technologies, is also on the top 100 individual list, at No. 85.
Being able to rub elbows with such keen minds on the topic of MIS is a joy and a great opportunity. With interests ranging from e-commerce and big data, to processes driving the evolution of new IT tools and systems, to even the influence of Web 2.0 on politics – these Fox faculty are passionate about what they teach.
