To initiate a different view of the strategic planning process for our
MIS program, we wish to consider the following questions:

(1) What are the ten most important issues likely to be addressed in
    the academic (scholarly) literature in MIS over the next five
    years?

(2) What are the most important issues likely to be taking the attention
    of executive practitioners in MIS over the next five years?

For clarity, the latter question can be split into two:

   (a) What are the ten most important issues that involve MIS and will
       receive the attention of general managers over the next five
       years?

   (b) What are the ten most important issues in MIS that will receive
       the attention of MIS practitioners over the next five years?

I would like to tap into the collective wisdom of this net.  I am also
hoping that this would evoke a thorough and thoughtful discussion of these 
issues in this newsgroup.

Please e-mail your comments to me (muhanna@osu.edu) or post them to this
newsgroup.  If there is interest, I'll summarize to the net.  

I look forward to your input and participation.
