Cross cultural comparison of the concordance of IS education/training and IS careers in the United States and Latin America (panel)

1. PANEL STATEMENT This panel examines the concordance of information systems training and education and IS careers from a cross cultural perspective. There have been a number of studies of the influences of IS education and training on career success and progress in the United States [4,5,8,9,11]. These studies indicate many differences and even conflicts between the goals of academia and those of industryFor instance, some studies point to major differences in academia’s concerns with applied and theoretical concepts, while industry concentrates on the highly practical set of skills needed for particular job functions [1,2,11]. For industry training, there is a question of career timing, and source, intensity, and length of training. Training can be provided by academic institutions, commercial third parties, companies in-house, or other sources. Often a combination of training is provided. Training is also important in the non-profit sector, where it tends to be provided by consultants at a reduced or free basis [6]. In examining training, it is also important to control for the size of organization.
