This appendix identifies individuals who are known to have occupied full professorial posts in Australia and whose background and role appeared to place considerable weight on IS. It was compiled during 2005–06 and revised in early 2007 with further edits in late 2007. It reflects the period up to early 2007. The confidence level is moderate—at an individual and an aggregate level.
In summary:
in early 2007, the current count appeared to be 52 professors in 28 of the 42 widely recognised universities in Australia, although five of the 52 could be argued not to be professors in IS
70 individuals were identified as having held chairs, in 32 of the 42 institutions, although six could be argued not to be professors in IS
the first 18 chairs appear to have been created between 1974 and 1995, as follows: 1974 (UNSW); 1981 (University of Queensland); 1987 (Curtin); five in 1990 (three at Monash, one each at UNSW, University of Queensland); 1991 (UNSW); 1992 (Tasmania); four in 1993 (Australian Graduate School of Management, Griffith, Macquarie Graduate School of Management, QUT); two in 1994 (Bond, Wollongong); two in 1995 (Macquarie, Charles Sturt University).
The three sections of this appendix are:
an explanation of the basis on which the information was compiled
a list of institutions, showing people known to have held full professorships there
a list of people known to have held full professorships in IS, by surname, with such information as is known about their appointment(s).
The starting points for this collection were the Australian and Asia-Pacific directories (Clarke 1988, 1991; Gable and Clarke 1994, 1996). It is of the nature of the early, printed directories and the self-maintained ISWorld Online Directory since 1995 that omissions and misclassifications occur. The proportion of IS professors who have established and maintained their own entries is very low (only 33 of 70). A ‘(D)’ indicates that the person had an entry in the directory in March 2007 and ‘(NO)’ means there was no entry.
The universities include all 38 that are members of Universities Australia (until 2007 known as the AVCC), together with four further institutions generally accepted as being universities.
Appointments in cognate disciplines such as accounting and computer science have been included, where the author judged the association with the IS community to be significant. One person listed has indicated that he no longer feels a close affinity with the IS discipline (Jeffery in empirical software engineering). At least five people would be regarded by some as being adjacent to rather than within IS (Gaffikin in accountancy, Henderson-Sellers in software engineering, Newton in computer science/OR, Orlowska in database and data management, Yetton in management and decision making).
The list does not include any of the following: associate professors, visiting professors, adjunct professors and professorial fellows (unless they were known to be full time for an extended period). The intention is to identify long-term, full-time positions and the people who occupy or have occupied them.
The years shown are only those during which the person is known to have held a chair—it is a list of professors, not an attempt to show each person’s full career. This appendix includes the corrections and updates that were communicated to the author in response to a request for comment distributed to a large number of people in early 2007.
Underlining indicates that the appointment was current in early 2007.
