Business and information systems engineering (BISE) has established itself as a distinct sub-discipline " between " business sciences and computer science at least in the German-speaking countries. This primarily becomes obvious by two facts. First, the BISE section is one of the largest sections of the German Academic Association for Business Research (Verband der Hochschullehrer für Betriebswirtschaft e. V., VHB). Second, the BISE special interest group is the largest of the Gesellschaft für Informatik. Nevertheless, in analogy to other " hyphenated " sub-disciplines it might be concluded from the positioning " between " business sciences and computer science that we are only dealing with an applied science that applies findings of its " reference " discipline computer science to companies and government agencies or vice versa applies findings of its " reference " discipline business sciences to information processing. This would consequently lead to the fact that not only necessary fundamental research would be limited to the " reference " disciplines, but also that public research funding, which is generally known to particularly focus on fundamental research, would have to be aligned accordingly. Then again, there are various attempts to identify " theories " , a " common body " , or " core contributions " of BISE – e. g. by means of (modeling) methods as theories (Greiffenberg 2003), conceptual model-ing as the discipline's core (Frank 1999), or support of integration (Heilmann 1989). Beyond the German-speaking countries, there are increasingly more attempts to consider the (IS) design process and its reflection as an autonomous core contribution (e. g. Hevner et al 2004) including theory development (e. g. Kuechler and Vaishnavi 2008) besides the social sciences oriented reflection of IS development and usage. Therefore, this discussion deals with the question whether fundamental research should be a part of BISE research and, if so, what its grounding is. The contributions particularly address the following issues: j Should fundamental research be a part of BISE at all or is it a privilege of our " reference disciplines " ? j Is there a " common body " of BISE theories and, if so, which theories are included? Which role does or might modern organizational research play in this respect? Moreover, there is the question of the significance of system theory. Is it capable of providing at least a universal vocabulary for " integrating " the " reference disciplines " ? j Can …
