Abstract
Curriculum in Management Information Systems (MIS) is subject to constant pressure due to changes in business, the computer industry and technology. Clements (1989) suggests many curriculum statements are the result of conscious or unconscious copying of 'authoritative' existing statements, while Truran (1997) suggests a model somewhere between 'muddling through' and an ecological model. An examination of a major curriculum rewrite in MIS curriculum in an Australian university has shown that applying an ecological model for the forces shaping curriculum can be effective in rationalizing those forces. The idea of Rapid Application Development (RAD) can be effective and efficient if applied to curriculum development and implemented in consideration of an 'ecological' view of competing forces.
