Abstract

Scarcely a month passes that another paper lamenting the short-comings of either Management Information Systems (MIS) or Management Science (MS) doesn't appear in the literature. It is unfortunate that these disciplines which have been universally commended to management and which obviously have great potential, have fallen into difficult times. It is likewise unfortunate that another promising construct--the corporate model--will likely meet a similar fater unless the present course of events is altered.
