Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)
Information Systems

The Department of Information Systems, Business Statistics and Operations Management (ISOM) consists of two divisions: Information Systems and Operations Management. The Department was ranked 12th in research productivity worldwide based on publications in the top Information Systems and Operations Management journals by INFORMS.

Faculty members of the Information Systems (IS) division are on the editorial boards of the top IS journals and hold prominent positions on the Councils of the Association for Information Systems and the International Telecommunications Society. Our students have gone on to academic positions in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, UK, and the USA.

The research foci of the IS division are:

Behavioral Research: The primary interest is in studying the management of information technology (IT) and the use of IT for managerial and organizational purposes. The research examines more than just the technological system or just the social system; it investigates the phenomena that emerge when the two interact. Examples include human-computer interaction, user acceptance of IT innovations, IT strategy, electronic communities, e-government, e-commerce, and telecommunications policy. The methodologies employed are surveys, experiments, and field studies. PhD students will need to take courses in psychology, organizational behavior, survey design, experimental design, multivariate statistics, etc. Prospective students with excellent analytical ability and good proficiency in English are preferred.

Analytical and Empirical Modeling: Economics has contributed to the theoretical richness and methodological rigor of IS research. Examples include information economics, the economics of electronic commerce, economic models for the impact of IT on organizations and markets, and supply and demand of IT. This interdisciplinary collaboration will help resolve many difficult IS issues. The research methodologies are analytical and empirical modeling. PhD students interested in the area need to take courses in game theory, industrial organization, price theory, econometrics, etc. Prospective students with a strong quantitative academic background are preferred.
