BUILDING A STRONGER IRM CURRICULUM

Abstract

This article presents the results of a survey of 90 information systems managers and 63 educators who evaluated 46 topics on information resource management (IRM), rating their importance in undergraduate and graduate course studies. Although the IS managers and educators agreed on the importance of some topics, major differences of opinion existed regarding the importance of others. A well-balanced IRM curriculum is possible if it incorporates the microperspective of IS managers along with the macroviews of IS educators.
