The Market for IS and MIS Skills and Knowledge: Analysis of On-Line Job Postings
Issues in Information Systems
(2006)
Abstract
As part of an effort to keep an MIS curriculum in line
with market demand, a sample of job postings from
Monster.com was taken over a one year period. A list
of most frequently requested skills and knowledge
was created for jobs requiring a bachelor’s degree in
information systems (IS) or management information
systems (MIS). The results support the importance of
verbal and written communications. The skills lists
were further broken down into four traditional career
paths: database, networking, systems analysis, and
programming. A cluster analysis of the data revealed
three basic skill groups: analysis, programming, and
networking.
