Abstract

Curriculum guidelines have placed a strong emphasis on integration of theory and practice in information systems (IS). A parallel concern, as yet unaddressed, is the integration throughout the IS curriculum of key theoretical concepts from individual courses. This paper suggests an architectural plan that incorporates formal methods, technological team issues, and organizational theory considerations in the development of a fully integrated information systems curriculum.
