Defining a DisciplineInformation Management Programme
We ascribe identity to disciplines based on the problems that their members seek to solve.
To the extent these problems are not pursued elsewhere in other discliplines, the discipline's self-identity is likely to be strong. Similarly, to the extent these problems simply mirror problems studied in other disciplines, the discipline's self-identity is weakened.
R. Weber, 2003
