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 https://aisnet.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1640366 .

Sincerely,

Kalle Lyytinen, Case Western Reserve University, Chair of AACSB/MaCuDE IS Task Force Heikki Topi, Bentley University, Task Force Co-chair, former AIS VP of Education
