Abstract
This paper aims to provide some evidences to contribute to the ongoing debate about IS discipline domain and its theoretical boundaries and backgrounds. In order to investigate the main issues and topics related with the IS discipline and the most recurrent relationships and ties among IS, Organization and Strategy we performed a meta-analysis based on the 170 papers published in 2008 in the six reference IS journals. Our findings point out the convergence towards some theoretical and research issues and moreover suggest the emerging of a new “two-ways” form of interaction that requires original directions for the future IS and management research.
