Abstract
This study compares and contrasts the findings of recent information systems (IS) management studies in ten nations or regions as well as one U.S. multinational study. It examines the key concerns of IS executives in these areas, focusing on identifying and explaining regional similarities and differences. Internationally, there are substantial differences in key issues. Possible reasons for these differences—cultural, economic development, political/legal environment, and technological status—are discussed. The analysis suggests that national culture and economic development can explain differences in key issues. The paper concludes with a revised framework for key issues studies that will more readily support comparison across time and nations.Keywords
