[AISWorld] Webinar on AACSB MaCuDE project IS Task Force recommendations on Tuesday, June 7

[Heikki Topi]

Dear IS Colleagues:


We would like to invite you to a webinar jointly organized by the AACSB
MaCuDE project and AIS on *Tuesday, June 7, 2022 10am – 11:30am (EDT)*. At
this webinar, the MaCuDE task force will share the latest draft of the IS
task force’s final recommendations and welcome your comments and questions.



The AACSB Management Curriculum for the Digital Era (MaCuDE) project
explores the challenges and opportunities that the intensifying digital
transformation of organizations will bring to business education, with a
specific focus on Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence. The
Information Systems task force represents the IS discipline in the MaCuDE
project, working in close collaboration with AIS. After the assessment of
the status of the IS curricula and an in-depth field study of future
industry needs in 2021, the task force is now working to complete its
contributions to the project’s final recommendations.



Our discipline has a critically important role in enabling businesses to
transform innovatively and analyzing and designing organizations,
processes, and technologies as integrated systems. It is essential that the
IS recommendations will effectively articulate the potential contributions
and distinctive strengths of the IS discipline to the business school
community.


To get this right, we will need your help—please join the conversation on
June 7!  Please RSVP at

Kalle Lyytinen, Case Western Reserve University, Chair of AACSB/MaCuDE IS
