The study tests predictions made in the literature about the nature and structure of the IS profession over the next 5 years against the expectations of organizations operating in Thailand. Predictions refer to similarities and differences between Provider organizations where the core activity is the provision of ICT products and services and User organizations which are engaged in different core activities but require ICT products and services. The expectations in both types of organizations are analyzed and compared using data collected by questionnaire. The results are interpreted and theoretical and practical implications are presented.
