This study uses SWOT analysis to explore perceptions of differential administrative placement of the Information Systems academic discipline within two Universities in Australia and Korea. The analysis provides a useful basis for decision makers to exploit opportunities and minimise external threats. It offers insights for IS academics contemplating administrative relocation of their group. The paper serves the dual-purpose of (1) informing the positioning of IS in the two case Institutions, while (2) evolving an approach and related tools for usefully extending the SWOT analysis to other institutions and States, and across time.
