Abstract

This panel provides the Information Systems (IS) community with an update on and engages in a pivotal discussion regarding the impact of digital transformation and advanced information technologies-such as big data analytics and artificial intelligence-on the IS curricula of AACSB accredited business schools. The panel draws upon the work done by the IS task force of the AACSB MaCuDE project in collaboration with curriculum leaders of the IS community. The panel reflects on the role and identity of the IS discipline in the future based on the MaCuDE project findings, explores the role of IS as the natural boundary spanning leader in digital transformation, analyzes areas in which IS is most likely to continue to provide distinctive value, considers the resource implications of the emerging changes, and discusses the role of ethical implications of advanced information technologies in IS education.
