With information systems a new discipline was born. With mobile services yet another discipline appeared. When the focus shifts from information systems to IT applications and services, then the discipline information systems will be replaced by a new, more application oriented discipline, developing mobile services for the nomads of information society. The organization, administration, accounting focus of information systems changes into a focus on sales, customer relations, marketing. The modern organisation is a creation of the industrial revolution.
Systems thinking is the adequate foundation for theorising about that organisation.
With information systems it became possible to control such organization in detail, and Management Information Systems was the discipline developing theories and methods for how to do this. When information technology is changing the focus of business from production to sales, by automating industrial production on the one hand and creating a global market on the other, then the factory organisations of industrial society will have to change too. The opaque factories at the outskirts of society, so typical of industrial society, will change into mobile, distributed sales companies with no clear boundaries to their environment. Rather than using information technology to control their internal organisation, they will prefer to use information technology as a public communication medium to participate in the world. 3 Artificial Science Technology is a social phenomenon.
