N2 - Abstract: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a relatively new field that is introduced into
the IS/IT/MIS environment. This paper defines and places GIS in the academic context of the
business school curriculum. Examples illustrate the usefulness and importance of the technology.
Although applicable to virtually any business discipline, the emphasis is on the placement in the IS
part, but with linkages to finance, strategy, marketing, etc. A case is made for its inclusion into the
IS curriculum, albeit it in an elective capacity.
