TITLE    Information systems research and Hofstede's culture's consequences:
         An uneasy and incomplete partnership

Abstract:
Information systems (IS) researchers have begun to investigate how national
culture, as articulated by Hofstede, affects a wide variety of issues. A
citation analysis of IS articles that cite Hofstede's research on national
culture suggests that most research is focused on issues related to IS
management and to IS, while issues related to IS development and operations
and to IS usage remain relatively unexamined. Within the dominant
categories, research is concentrated in the IS management and types of
information systems subcategories. Furthermore, the dimensions of national
culture outlined by Hofstede have not been frequently used to develop and to
build theory. Research opportunities and approaches to develop a stronger
cumulative tradition and theory for international IS issues are proposed.
