CAN IS AVOID MARGINALIZATION ?

Abstract

Two major areas of concern for IS managers are the use of outsourcing and the often-expressed view that little competitive advantage has been gained from information processing. These developments have begun to mirror events in other professions from a bygone age. By looking outside the IS field for some perspective, we may avert a similar outcome and better define the role of IS in the organization.
