Cross-Cultural
Research in Information Systems Meeting:
A joint AIS (SIG-CCRIS) and JSIS
workshop
"Culture's consequences revisited:
Strategic and societal considerations of how culture impacts and
is impacted by ICT"
December 14th, 2008 –
--- Revised paper submission deadline: Monday October 13, 2008 ---
In the context of the ICIS'08 conference theme on the Ethics,
Design and Consequences of IT, AIS
SIG-Cross Cultural Research on Information Systems (CCRIS) and the Journal of Strategic Information
Systems (JSIS) are hosting the above workshop on Sunday, Dec. 14th,
2008 prior to ICIS. We request submissions from colleagues interested in the
key strategic and
societal issues associated with
the workshop focus by Monday
October 13, 2008 at the latest. The
meeting/workshop is jointly sponsored by 3M and Elsevier.
Submissions
addressing how culture, broadly defined, shapes the way Information Systems are
designed, used by, or affect society and organizations are of interest to this
workshop. Finished papers,
research-in-progress and panel proposals are sought. Submissions will be double
blind peer reviewed.
With
a long tradition of congregating researchers interested in cross-cultural
issues in IS, the AIS SIG-CCRIS
meeting, now in its 16th year, has been a good point of contact for
those who are actively involved in the area or who would like to know more
about what other researchers are doing in this area. This year, AIS SIG-CCRIS is
joining forces with the Journal of Strategic Information Systems
in holding the meeting.
The editors of JSIS particularly encourage
submissions that examine the role of culture in shaping the use of, and impact
on emerging ICT, and the ways in which ICT may impact culture - in society, in
organizations and in groups, virtual or otherwise. We encourage submissions
from diverse theoretical and practical perspectives, especially those that
critique some of the more facile treatments of culture that have appeared
in IS discourse in the past. The strategic issues associated with the
workshop theme may relate to societal, business, policy, organization, and or
technology considerations. The workshop offers an opportunity for authors to
receive feedback from colleagues and to develop their papers further
for later submission to the special
issue of JSIS
on this topic that will appear in late 2009 or early 2010. The special issue deadline is
May 4 2009.
This
year's keynote address will be given
by Dr. Dorothy E Leidner, The
Ferguson Professor of IS at
