Professor Kendall is a fellow of the Decision Sciences Institute (DSI), a Vice President of the Association for Information Systems (AIS), and a Past Chair of IFIP Working Group 8.2.
She is the co-author of a leading college textbook, Systems Analysis and Design (8th edition, 2011), as well as Project Planning and Requirements Analysis for IT Systems Development (2nd edition, 2002), and she has co-edited a research volume, Human, Organizational, and Social Dimensions of Information Systems Development.
Professor Kendall’s research in information systems has been published in several top tier journals including MIS Quarterly, Decision Sciences, Organization Studies, European Journal of Information Systems, CAIS, Information & Management, The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems, JITTA and many other journals.
Julie was awarded the Silver Core Award from IFIP in 2004. Throughout her research career, Dr. Kendall has focused on nonprofit, service organizations.
Professor Kendall was named as a Senator Walter Rand Fellow of the Senator Walter Rand Institute for Public Affairs, Rutgers-Camden, for 2001-2002. She researched the strategic importance of ecommerce for South Jersey nonprofit performing arts organizations.
Over the years, Julie’s name has become widely identified with her research in developing innovative qualitative approaches for information systems analysts and researchers, including the use of metaphors in traditional and agile systems development.
Julie’s research includes both conceptual work and applications in four key areas: 1)ecommerce systems development and nonprofit organizations with an extension to ICTs in developing countries; 2) use of metaphors in information systems development and organizational subcultures; 3) new technologies in systems analysis and design and 4) original methods for systems analysis and design. Over the years Julie has been privileged to work with over two-dozen co-authors.
Professor Kendall served as a member of the first Editorial Board of the flagship electronic Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS), and is on the Editorial Advisory Board for JITTA as well as the Journal of Cases on Information Technology, and is serving as Associate Editor for Communications of the AIS. Julie serves as a member of the Editorial Review Board for the International Journal of e-collaboration, Information Resource Management Journal, and the Journal of Database Management.
She served as Associate Editor and Guest Associate Editor for MIS Quarterly and the Functional Editor for MIS for Interfaces. Julie was the Guest Editor for a special issue of the Journal of Individual Employment Rights, on “Implications of Technology and Information Systems for Individual Employment Rights,” 2004-2006 and she served as Guest Co-Editor for a special issue of The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems, on “Computers and Playfulness: Humorous, Cognitive, and Social Playfulness in Real and Virtual Workplaces,” in 1997.
Professor Kendall has served on the review board of the Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education since its inception. She served as Treasurer and Vice President at Large for DSI and as 2004 Annual Meeting Proceedings Coordinator.
Dr. Julie Kendall’s teaching interests include global strategic issues in ecommerce and systems analysis and design for ecommerce and traditional information systems. Julie served as a member of the Advisory Board for the Teaching Excellence Center, Rutgers University-Camden, from 1992 to 2003. Julie received a Decision Sciences Institute Innovative Teaching Award in 1992. Professor Kendall has achieved innovation in the classroom through the creation of original hypertext based software called HyperCase®, which allows student analysts to become immediately immersed in organizational life. HyperCase is available on the Web.
Julie served as co-coordinator for the Decision Sciences Institute Doctoral Student Consortium in Washington, D.C. She has chaired and served on several national committees relating to doctoral student issues, and for four years she was the feature column editor for the Doctoral Student Issues column in Decision Line. She was a coordinator and mentor for the Decision Sciences Institute Doctoral Student Consortium, Workshop on Formulating a Strategic Research Plan for 10 years beginning in1995.
Julie has been active with minority students and faculty in The Ph.D. Project Information Systems Doctoral Students Association Conference as a presenter and mentor for many years. In 2001 she was honored as an inaugural member of the Ph.D. Project’s Circle of Compadres. Julie also served as Director or Co-Director of the MIS Camp for New MIS Faculty Development, Americas Conference on Information Systems, for five years.
Julie’s current research interests are in developing innovative qualitative tools for systems analysts, developing Web presence and ecommerce for nonprofits including off-Broadway theatres, and the use of metaphors for IS research and systems development. Her Web page can be found at
