Information System is associated to the fields of computer science, business and management,
which strategically focuses on the design, deployment and impact of ICT to the individual,
society and also businesses. The diversified nature of IS has brought about the interactions

interdisciplinary research to a wider perspective.
In Malaysia, the IS research community is led by the Malaysia Association for Information

undertakes the mission to serve the society through the advancement of knowledge and the
promotion of excellence in the practice and study of information systems. Another IS entity in
Malaysia is the Information and Service Systems Innovation Research Group (ISSIRG) that consists
of IS experts from Universiti Tenknologi Malaysia this group’s mission is to be a leader in
research and commercialization of innovative information and service system solutions for

In promoting research and the knowledge sharing culture among the IS communities, MyAIS and
ISSIRG have collaborated to organize the second Malaysia Doctoral Consortium for Information
Systems on the 1st December 2019 at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Skudai, Johor. Ten
research proposals are accepted and all these proposals are now available as a Book Chapter in
MyAIS website. This Book Chapter entitles “EXPLORING INFORMATION SYSTEMS RESEARCH BOUNDARIES
(EISRB) – SERIES 2” serves as valuable insights to researchers and practitioners, as well as
those who are interested in the IS domain to know the current IS research in Malaysia. The list
