Therefore, it seems appropriate that more should be known about who they are, their researchplans, and their thinking about the Linkage of these plans with their academic futures. The panel will explore currenttrends in research by IS doctoral students. It will provide an overview of the key topics being studied and methodsbeing used to study them. It will also address the topics and methods not being researched and explore why. Finally,the panel will provide an overview of the doctoral consortium results through the comments of faculty and students thatparticipated.The panel will actively involve the audience in discussion of these issues and related ones. Faculty from the ICISDoctoral Consortium will be in the audience as will the Consortium doctoral students. All doctoral students are invitedto attend this panel because it may significantly alter, or reinforce, your plans and thinking about IS research and yourcareer.Three questions will be addressed to the audience.1. What topics and methods are being addressed in dissertation research and why? What topics and methods are notbeing addressed and why not?2. What is the linkage between the choice of dissertation topics and expectations about future career paths oropportunities? Is this linkage leading the field in fruitful directions?3. What topics and methodologies would help doctoral students the most in their future careers and what would mostenhance IS as a field of study?400
