Description

Information systems is a discipline nestled between the organizational sciences and the computer sciences. How do these different fields view each other? We ask Brian Pentland (an organizational sociologist) and Wil van der Aalst (a computer scientist). Both work on the same topic - processes and routines - but within different communities. We explore whether these communities are coming together and what advice young researchers receive in the different fields. As usual, the readings we refer to are listed on http://www.janrecker.com/this-is-research-podcast/.
