Center for Information Systems Research (CISR)

This research center is a consortium-funded research center investigating how firms generate business value from information technology. CISR has recently completed a three-year study of the IT governance arrangements of 250 enterprises in 30 countries. The study developed an IT governance design framework and offers insights and best practices from top-performing firms. CISR is also completing a four-year study of more than 50 firms' enterprise architecture maturity, characterized by different IT investment objectives, critical IT management and governance practices, and the strategic role of IT in a firm. New research projects are focused on IT risks, IT outsourcing, and business models.
