A feature of the study, commented on by researchers in the individual Australian states, was that the evidence presented represented no more than a snapshot of the situation during a period of major perturbation in the IS academic discipline in Australia. Although analysis of the aggregated data has sought to detect some significant trends, there is a clear need to replicate the study over time. At a time of major change, threats and opportunities multiply; the success of responses to these will become apparent in future studies.
