STUDENT RESEARCH PROJECTS

For the past four years, Dr. Harper's capstone MIS 476 class, "Management of Information Systems," has required each student to complete an extensive research project concerning an emerging technology.  Twenty-six of the papers from this class are available via links from this page.  Some of these manuscripts have since become the basis for journal articles or professional presentations.
