抄録

In this paper, the author considers a preliminary overview for information management studies in the future, in particular, through that we look back on the question: "is information management an independent discipline." Therefore, this paper is organized as follows. First, I will review about the "reference discipline" for a discussion of P. G. W. Keen (1989) that was the beginning of the discussion. Next, I will review the impact of Keen (1980). At this time, I was divided into the mainstream (what to study) and the leading stream (how to study). Then, I will overview of the controversy "identity crisis" over the IT artifact. Finally, I describe the personal opinion about the challenges of the future.
