(July 22, 2008 ) Special Report Changing of the Guard in MIS? An Investigative Series on CoB Faculty Research Credentials The race for "the greatest ever" in the CoB's management information systems unit is arguably the most interesting. Reporters had no idea what would be uncovered once this particular installment began. For what we found, continue on. It is almost certain to surprise most readers of USMNEWS.net, and possibly even some past and present members of the CoB's MIS unit.
