Abstract
I have chosen 15 years as the period of review for a personal reason. It was in 1967 that I and others such as Gary Dickson and Tom Hoffmann began the Management Information Systems program at Minnesota. We were not the only university where faculty members were working to establish MIS as an academic discipline, but we achieved significant, immediate results. Therefore, many count the beginnings of MIS as an academic area to the start of the Minnesota program. We established a major in MIS within the MBA and PhD programs and founded a research center, the Management Information Systems Research Center (MISRC). These activities were carried out with the support (including financial) of major businesses in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
