Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 11:48:52 -0500 Subject: [Sigtis-l] CFP> AMCIS 2016 STIR '16 Mini-Track Call for Papers Message-ID: Call for Papers: 22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems August 11 - 13, 2016, San Diego, CA, USA Dear Colleagues, We welcome papers for the mini track titled ?Social Theory in Information Systems (STIR ?16)?, for AMCIS 2016. Details are as follows: Track: Social Technical Issues and Social Inclusion Track Mini Track Title: Social Theory in Information Systems (STIR ?16) Description This year we are proud to celebrate the 20th consecutive year of the Social Theory in Information Systems Research minitrack. Since 1996, scholars and researchers have presented cutting edge research, using social theory in their work. STIR?16 solicits papers that use social theory in IS research drawing upon such approaches as sociotechnical theory, critical theory, social informatics, and organizational theory. We are interested in highlighting research that critically examines the constitution of ICT, and their roles in organizations and society. We are interested in research that addresses the conference theme, Surfing the IT Innovation Wave; focusing on innovative uses of theories and methodologies to study the impacts of new and emerging technologies, such as social media and wearable technologies, on people?s organizational and social lives and on organizations and institutions. Issues might include designing smart and sustainable digital futures, critically examining the constitution of ICTs, and their roles in the design, maintenance and dissolution of online and offline communities, and posing and investigating questions about how we interact with ICTs in our work and social lives in ways that help and sometimes hinder progress towards more useful, productive, and happier lives. Please join us in San Diego for this milestone! Suggested Topics In addition to research aligned with the conference theme we are also interested in high quality empirical and conceptual work that uses social theory to study and understand: ? The interplay between ICT and the development, implementation, and evaluation of Blue Ocean Strategy ? The implications of social networks for organizations and social groups ? Conceptual and empirical work focusing on the ways ICT can promote or hinder social inclusion ? The significance of cyberinfrastructure for commerce, governing and research and sustainable development ? The relationships between ICTs and people as they participate in online communities and virtual teams ? Online communities of practice, their processes and outcomes ? The dynamics of and social and cultural impacts on ICT ? Hacktivism and the use of technology to mobilize resources and advance ideology ? Unintended consequences of technology implementation and use in organizations and in social life ? Scientific collaboration and scholarly communication as enabled and constrained by ICTs ? The impacts of social computing on our social and work lives SUBMISSION SITE http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2016 Submissions may be of two types: ? Completed research papers (< 5000 words, excluding references, tables, and figures) ? Research-in-progress papers (< 3500 words, excluding references, tables, and figures) All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2016 For complete instructions for authors and information about the conference, visit the AMCIS 2016 website at http://amcis2016.aisnet.org IMPORTANT DATES January 4, 2016: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2016 begin March 2, 2016: AMCIS manuscript submissions closes for authors at 10:00am PST CHAIR CONTACT INFORMATION Pnina Fichman, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University fichman at indiana.edu Howard Rosenbaum, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University hrosenba at indiana.edu From mhomuth at imail.iu.edu Wed Dec 16 15:19:16 2015 From: mhomuth at imail.iu.edu (Sanfilippo, Madelyn Rose) Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2015 20:19:16 +0000 Subject: [Sigtis-l] AMCIS 2016 Mini-Track International Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Access CALL FOR PAPERS Message-ID: Call for Papers: 22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems August 11 - 13, 2016, San Diego, CA, USA Dear Colleagues, We welcome submissions for the mini track entitled ?International Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Access?, for AMCIS 2016 Track: Global, International, and Cross-Cultural Issues in IS (SIGCCRIS) Mini Track: International Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Access Description: Networks and systems within the contemporary information society are in many ways constrained by access to ICT, including availability, awareness, ability or literacy, and infrastructural support for ICT use and ICT-mediated processes. All dimensions of ICT access are highly unequal globally. Current efforts to improve infrastructure and availability?including broadband speeds, reliability of connectivity, stability and maintenance of systems, and interoperability?often span geographic boundaries and include both the public and private sectors. Furthermore, efforts to impact awareness and literacy are highly culturally context dependent. Outcomes associated with ICT access initiatives vary significantly, both between countries and within them, and differences in outcomes are often associated with contextual differences in policy interpretation and adoption strategies. This mini-track will focus on all stages of collaborative and independent access initiatives?including policy, planning, implementation, and evaluation?supporting the improvement and sustainability of ICT access and infrastructure across local, national, and regional borders. Call for Papers: Why is ICT access so unequal globally? Why do plans for ICT improvement lead to different outcomes in different contexts? Global variation in ICT access, particularly availability and infrastructure, is extreme, which has serious implications for global communications, relationships, business, and other processes. Efforts to address both imbalances and insufficiencies lead to highly divergent outcomes, despite efforts to replicate successful projects. It is important to understand the status of access from a comparative international perspective, so as to understand the roles of social, political, and cultural factors in shaping outcomes. How successful are international efforts to improve ICT access? Given the increasing interdependence of ICT access internationally, as multinational corporations and global travel and migration, leads people and systems to depend on different infrastructural systems to support their connectivity needs, there has been increased attention toward collaboration, interoperability, and common regulation of ICT access worldwide. Research needs to address international ICT access improvement, so as to better support the reliability and sustainability of global systems and to better design future initiatives. What is the role of culture in shaping the policy process surrounding ICT access improvement? Given the variation in infrastructure, even in instances of collaborative efforts, contextual variation, including the influences of culture, seemingly plays an important role in how initiatives relating to ICT are implemented. Further exploration of how aspects of context shape all stages of initiatives, including planning, implementation, and evaluation, is significant to understanding differences in outcomes. This mini-track invites submissions that address collaborations relating to ICT access, as well as comparative analyses on ICT infrastructure status and initiatives and case studies. Submissions addressing infrastructure and governance of infrastructure at city, state, regional, geographical, national, and international levels are welcome. Potential Topics: Integrated cross-border infrastructure Standardization of ICT access and ICT access regulation Initiative failures associated with internationalization or comparative cultural differences Case studies addressing culture Cross-country, cross-state, or cross-regional ICT infrastructure analysis Impact of supra-national governance on ICT access Interoperability across contexts Comparative evaluation of ICT access initiative outcomes Inequality in access or reliability across contexts, as impacts multinational business SUBMISSION SITE http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2016 Submissions may be of two types: ?
