Situating Global Information Management Research

摘要

In my 10th anniversary editorial preface (JGIM vol. 10 no. 1), I laid out the terrain of research into global information management (GIM). The field is a niche area of information systems (IS) research with a focus on IS issues that are international in flavour. Despite its narrower focus, GIM research is highly diverse in which a wide variety of variables have been studied and methodology employed (Gallupe & Tan, 1999). These characteristics have presented difficulties in conducting GIM research.
