Abstract
This research study looks at the teaching expectations for IS professors by content analyzing the IS placement advertisements for the academic recruiting year 2018-2019 and identifying the top teaching skills and knowledge requirements. In addition this study will content analyze the vitas of the IS candidates who are on the market for 2018-2019 to identify the top listed skills and interests that the candidates possess. The main questions that will be explored are (1) Is there a discrepancy between the most sought-after teaching needs of the universities and the skills of the job candidates? (2) Through the examination of the top teaching needs of the universities and the candidates’ skills do certain teaching trends emerge? Results of the analysis will be presented at AMCIS 2019.
