This half-day event is intended for those of you in the later stages (post-proposal) of your research on problems related to web science and information science. Description The goals of the Doctoral Consortium are to provide you with a supportive and critical learning opportunity to discuss your work in progress and to receive feedback and guidance from senior web and information science scholars. You will be able to explain your dissertation research and highlight theoretical and methodological problems/issues for further discussion and inquiry both with senior mentors and Consortium participants. The Doctoral Consortium aims to broaden the perspectives and to improve your research and communication skills. We expect you to have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results and have sufficient time prior to completing your dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience. Generally, if you are in your second or third year of PhD work, you will benefit the most from this experience. In the Consortium, you will present your proposal and receive specific feedback and advice on how to improve your research plan. The Doctoral consortium also aim to develop a supportive community within which doctoral students can begin to develop their professional networks by interacting with peers and senior scholars in web science and information science. All proposals submitted to the Doctoral Consortium will undergo a thorough reviewing process with a view to providing detailed and constructive feedback. The international review committee will select the best submissions for presentation at the Doctoral Consortium. Submission information We ask you to submit an 8 page description of your PhD research proposal electronically via the EasyChair conference submission System: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=9144634.cxJz4ovCrZ6XBK9a Your submission must address each of the following questions: ?

We are in particular interested in the impact of global, international, and cross-cultural issues on ICT development, implementation and use across the globe. Globalization has historically been tied to technological innovation, and the present era of a networked information society is no different. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have provided the infrastructure for multinational businesses, created new cultural connections irrespective of geographic boundaries and distances, and allowed an increasingly mobile global population to be connected to their friends, families, and cultures no matter where they are. The issues surrounding global, international, and cross cultural issues in Information Systems (IS) attracted much scholarly attention and have been explored under myriad contexts. The minitrack welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of global IS, or IS research situated in a global, international or cross-cultural context. The minitrack is open to all methodological approaches and perspectives. We are interested in empirical and theoretical work that addresses these and related socio-technical issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Research that considers the impacts of cultural values (e.g. on adaptive user interfaces) * Research on global Cloud sourcing strategies * Cross-national and cross-cultural comparisons of ICT adoption, use and development (e.g. Internet diffusion and impacts compared between different economies) * Effects of global social computing on organizational work organization and practices (e.g. pricing strategies) * Issues relating to globally distributed teams (e.g. the adoption and use of social media by cross-national virtual teams, worker motivation, and human error diversity) * Issues relating to Internet adoption and the digital society at the national level (e.g. digital infrastructure sophistication across countries) *Issues relating to global knowledge management (e.g. different knowledge-sharing cultures in multi-national corporations) *Issues relating to cross-national legislation and regulation (e.g. implications of different regulations governing Green IT in the EU vs. US or Asian countries) * Issues relating to global ICT governance (e.g. sustainable strategies for standardization and harmonization in evolving business networks) * Single country studies showing implications for other locations or results different from other contexts (e.g. impact of ICT policies on a transition economy) * Multi-country studies of ICT adoption, use, and development (e.g. e-commerce adoption involving multiple countries) * Global impacts of big data on governments, multinational companies, NGOs and other organizations Minitrack Organizers: Pnina Fichman, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University, Bloomington; fichman at indiana.edu Edward W.N.
