The information systems community has grown considerably since 1984, when we first started the Wiley Information Systems Series. We are pleased to be part of the growth of the field and believe the series books have played an important role in the intellectual development of the discipline. The primary objective of the series is to publish scholarly works which reflect the best of research in the information systems community. The works published are largely research monographs or thoughtful practitioner pieces which contain new ideas on the analysis, design, management, and implementation of information systems. The Series is specifically designed for scholarly pieces which critically analyze the foundations of information systems.

As the information systems field matures, however, there is an increased need to carry the results of its growing body of research into practice. Hence, after consultation with our editorial board, it was decided that the series should also emphasize publishing research results that speak to important needs in the development and management of information systems. Beginning with the book Information Systems Outsourcing (written by Mary Lacity and myself) we have broadened our editorial mission to recognize more explicitly the need for research to inform the practice and management of information systems. This is not so much a dramatic altering of direction as a change in emphasis. We trust that the Series books will be of interest to both practitioners and academics. Enjoy!
