Our faculty has an outstanding record of education and research. The program at Georgia is generally considered in the top ten MIS programs in the country. Faculty are prominent in major MIS forums such as the Association for Information Systems, International Conference in Information Systems and MIS Quarterly.

The faculty is active in international MIS research projects and is internationally recognized for their expertise. More than 70 textbooks have been written by the MIS faculty. In addition, MIS professors are involved in management education and consulting, which brings a practical dimension to their classes.

The major research theme of the MIS group is managerial decision making. This focus is reflected in research projects on topics such as data warehousing, electronic commerce, expert systems, and group support systems. In a world where organizations are globalizing and flattening their hierarchies, managers have to make more complex decisions more frequently and teamwork is essential to improving organizational performance. Thus, the focus on managerial decision making is extremely appropriate in the current context of four major business revolutions.
