MIT CISR Visiting Scholars Program

In 2006, CISR established a formal visiting scholars program, with the primary aim of fostering greater interest and collaboration on research exploring how companies get business value from IT. This program provides an opportunity for established researchers to do practice-oriented research in cooperation with CISR faculty and to work with executives from CISR sponsor companies and research sites.
