Abstract

A huge hat tip from the IT Trends Research Team to Professor Ephraim McLean, an active SIM member since its inception and a vital team member, who retired from academia in 2021 after 52 years of illuminating the world of IT management. Thank you Eph for your wisdom, mentoring and friendship! Since 1980, the Society for Information Management (SIM), a co-founder of MIS Quarterly and MIS Quarterly Executive, in collaboration with a team of MIS academicians, has conducted a survey of its members to identify and study the most important IT management issues. Over the decades, the SIM IT Trends Study has evolved and expanded into an insightful and comprehensive investigation of IS management issues, practices and leadership. The study provides both practitioners and researchers with valuable trends analyses and a snapshot of the state of IS management. This preview highlights a few topics from the 2021 study. The complete 41st anniversary report will appear in the March 2022 issue of MIS Quarterly Executive.
