Subject: Last Reminder - ITP : IT Management in the Middle East
Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2002 09:47:16 +0300
From: "Adel M. Aladwani" <adwani(a)kuc01.kuniv.edu.kw>

CALL FOR PAPERS
Information Technology & People
Special Issue: IT Management in the Middle East
The widespread diffusion of Information Technology (IT), e.g., computers
and data telecommunication technologies and applications, has reached
all corners and regions of our world including the Middle East. The
proliferation of IT in Middle Eastern nations has many serious
implications for these countries inasmuch as it is IT that can set the
stage for many economic, social, and even political reforms essential
for the development of this region. The success of decision-makers in
public and private organizations operating in this part of the world to
understand how to exploit IT in accordance with their particular work
environments and national values will facilitate the accomplishment of
these aspired developments. Furthermore, with the increased
globalization of the world economy, many organizations interested in
entering the promising marketplace of the Middle East may need to get a
sense of the particulars of IT diffusion in this region. Unfortunately,
little research is currently available about the state of IT management
in Middle Eastern nations. The purpose of this special issue of
Information Technology & People is to provide a forum for topics
addressing IT management issues in Middle Eastern countries. Conceptual
and empirical contributions including frameworks, field surveys,
experiments, and case studies from authors around the world are strongly
encouraged. This first of a kind special issue intends to incorporate a
wide array of IT management issues in Middle Eastern countries. Papers
dealing with (but not limited to) the following topics are invited:
National level strategies of information technology
Information technology infrastructure issues at national and
organizational levels
Information architecture and planning issues at the organizational
level
Issues relevant to determining the value of IT Investments
Performance issues of IT projects and applications
Professional development of information technology specialists
The design and implementation of culturally-sensitive IT applications
Accounts of national readiness for the digital economy
Emergent applications of IT (technology incubators, technology
inclusion, etc.)
Submission Guidelines:
All submissions must be in English, should represent original work of
the author(s), and must not have been published/accepted for publication
or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All
contributions will be subjected to a double-blind review process.
Manuscripts should be prepared according to Information Technology &
People (http://www.emeraldinsight.com/itp.htm) format. There is no page

Subject: Cultural Attitudes Towards Technology and Communication Conference
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2002 09:51:38 +0800
From: Fay Sudweeks <sudweeks(a)MURDOCH.EDU.AU>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
Dear colleagues
A reminder that papers for CATaC'02 are due 15 March.
Fay Sudweeks
sudweeks(a)murdoch.edu.au
-------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
International Conference on
CULTURAL ATTITUDES TOWARDS TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION (CATaC'02)
12-15 July 2002
University of Montréal, Quebec, Canada
http://www.it.murdoch.edu.au/~sudweeks/catac02/
Conference theme: The Net(s) of Power: Language, Culture and
Technology
The powers of the Nets can be construed in many ways - political,
economic, and social. Power can also be construed in terms of
Foucault's "positive power" and Bourdieu's notion of "cultural
capital" - decentered forms of power that encourage "voluntary"
submission, such as English as a _lingua franca_ on the Net.
Similarly, Hofstede's category of "power distance" points to the role
of status in encouraging technology diffusion, as low-status persons
seek to emulate high-status persons. Through these diverse forms of
power, the language(s) and media of the Net may reshape the cultural
assumptions of its globally-distributed users - thus raising the
dangers of "computer-mediated colonisation" ("Disneyfication" - a la
Cees Hamelink).
This biennial conference series aims to provide an international forum
for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research on how
diverse cultural attitudes shape the implementation and use of
information and communication technologies (ICT). "Cultural
attitudes" here includes cultural values and communicative preferences
that may be embedded in both the content and form of ICT - thus
threatening to make ICT less the agent of a promised democratic global
village and more an agent of cultural homogenisation and imperialism.
The conference series brings together scholars from around the globe
who provide diverse perspectives, both in terms of the specific
culture(s) they highlight in their presentations and discussions, and
in terms of the discipline(s) through which they approach the
conference theme.
The first conference in the series was held in London in 1998
(http://www.it.murdoch.edu.au/~sudweeks/catac98/). For an overview of
the themes and presentations of CATaC'98, see
http://www.it.murdoch.edu.au/~sudweeks/catac98/01_ess.html. The second
conference in the series was held in Perth in 2000
(http://www.it.murdoch.edu.au/~sudweeks/catac00/).
Original full papers (especially those which connect theoretical
frameworks with specific examples of cultural values, practices, etc.)
and short papers (e.g. describing current research projects and
preliminary results) are invited. Papers should articulate the
connections between specific cultural values as well as current and/or
possible future communicative practices involving information and
communication technologies. We seek papers which, taken together, will
help readers, researchers, and practitioners of computer-mediated
communication - especially in the service of "electronic democracy" -
better understand the role of diverse cultural attitudes as hindering
and/or furthering the implementation of global computer communications
systems.
Topics of particular interested include but are not limited to:
- Impact of information and communication technologies on local and
indigenous languages and cultures.
- Politics of the electronic global village in democratising or
preserving hierarchy.
- Communicative attitudes and practices in industrialised and
industrialising countries.
- Role of gender in cultural expectations regarding appropriate
communicative behaviours.
- Ethical issues related to information and communication
technologies, and the impact on culture and communication behaviours.
- Issues of social justice raised by the dual problems of "the digital
divide" and "computer-mediated colonisation," including theoretical
and practical ways of overcoming these problems.
SUBMISSIONS
All submissions will be peer reviewed by an international panel of
scholars and researchers. There will be the opportunity for selected
papers to appear in special issues of journals and a book. Papers in
previous conferences have appeared in special issues of a number of
journals (Electronic Journal of Communication/La Revue Electronique de
Communication, AI and Society Journal, Javnost- The Public, Journal of
Computer Mediated Communication, and New Media and Society) and a
book, "Culture, Technology, Communication: towards an Intercultural
Global Village", edited by Charles Ess with Fay Sudweeks, SUNY Press,
New York, 2001.
Initial submissions are to be emailed to catac(a)it.murdoch.edu.au as an
attachment (Word, HTML, PDF). Guidelines for submission, including
templates, are on the web site. Submission of a paper implies that it
has not been submitted or published elsewhere. At least one author of
each accepted paper is expected to present the paper at the
conference.
Important Dates
Full papers: 15 March 2002
Short papers: 29 March 2002
Notification of acceptance: 5 April 2002
Final formatted papers: 26 April 2002

INTRODUCTION
------------
The WWW is now a familiar channel for information dissemination and gathering
among people from all walks of life. The sheer variety and amount of
information that may be obtained are staggering. Academics and researchers
now have another avenue to publish their research and satisfy their quest
for knowledge. Many are discovering and tapping vast amounts of information
never dreamed of before. Team workers utilise the Web for remote
collaboration. Corporations with business sense have established a Web
presence by reconstituting corporate materials and product information for
Web publication. The consumer has benefited from access to large amounts of
dynamic data; this has also enabled comparison-shopping and assisted
decision-making. Hence, the Web has become somewhat indispensable to many
and for various reasons. The aim of this conference is to provide an
international forum for researchers, professionals, and industrial
practitioners to share their knowledge in the rapidly growing area of Web
technologies. We invite submissions that address both fundamental issues of
Web data management and issues related to the development and management of
Web-based applications. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
* Deep/Hidden Web * Web Ontologies
* Mobile Web Information Systems * Web Performance
* Semantic Web * Web Query Languages
* Web Agents * Web Security
* Web Change Monitoring & Management * Web Services
* Web Commerce * Web Tools & Languages
* Web Data Model * Web Transactions
* Web Information Retrieval * Web Visualization
* Web Intelligence * Web Warehousing
* Web Metrics * Web-Based Business Processes
* Web Mining * XML & Semi-structured data

Virtual Teams Field Studies
I would like to thank those of you who responded to my request on ISWorld
listserv.
The original message:
I am looking for studies on virtual teams, specifically for research
conducted in the workplace (students are NOT the participants in the study).
I am familiar with the works of Maznevski, M.L., & Chudoba, K.M. (2000);
Lurey, J.S., & Raisinghani, M.S. (2001); McDonough, E.F., Kahn, K.B., &
Barczak, G. (2001); and Vickery, C.M., Clark, T.D., & Carlson, J.R. (1999).
Any additional references will be highly appreciated.
Summary of the results will be posted to the list.
Thank you,
Pnina Shachaf

Subject: CFP (JEUC): Etail Research & B2C Models, Due 15 July 2002 (Merrill Warkentin)
Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 17:26:21 -0600
From: Merrill Warkentin <mwarkentin(a)COBILAN.MSSTATE.EDU>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
Call for Papers : Special Issue of Journal of End User Computing
http://www.misprofessor.com/jeuccfp.html
"Etail Research from B2C Models to Customer Intimacy"
Guest Editor: Merrill Warkentin, mwarkentin(a)acm.org
Due 15 July 2002 (Full Manuscript) with Abstract due 15 April 2002
As the practice and study of electronic commerce (eCommerce) matures,
we seek a deeper and more complete understanding of the nature and
relationships of the critical components--buyers, sellers, and
technologies that bring them together. Clear distinctions between
B2B and B2C eCommerce have been drawn. Success factors in etailing
(retail electronic commerce that is oriented toward individual consumers,
not business entities) have been identified. Many online firms (and the
business models they embodied) have failed, but many others continue to
thrive and new ones are still being born. This issue will focus on the
end user of eCommerce processes and practices--the etail consumer.
What new models characterize the relationship with the consumer?
What technologies create and support these relationships?
What strategies achieve success in this new environment?
Possible Topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
-Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Models and Practices
-"Brick & Click" Strategies (e.g.; comparative case studies)
-Etail Design Factors (e.g.; empirical studies of Etail effectiveness)
-Etail Website Selection Models
-User Interface Designs for Customer Retention
-User Interactivity; Cognitive and HCI Research for Etailing
-Consumer Behavior Models in Etailing
-Database Support for User Interactivity Models
-Role of Agents and Ratings Sites in Consumer Decisions
-Web-based Services
-DSS for Consumer Choices in Etailing
-Demographic Analysis of Etail Customers
-Peer-to-Peer Technologies and Strategies
-Client Technical Standards and Protocols - XML and beyond
-Security Technology for Enhanced End User Satisfaction
-Consumer Trust Modeling - Trustmarks, Privacy Policies, and Solutions
Key Dates:
Please send an email with a short abstract or statement of intent to
Merrill Warkentin before 15 April 2002. Complete manuscripts should be
emailed before 15 July 2002. Every paper will be blind reviewed.
Revisions and final publication decisions to be completed during Fall 2002.
Submissions:
-Must not be currently under review by another publication.
-Must be written in APA editorial style.
-Must include a 150-200 word abstract with appropriate
key words under the title.
-Should not exceed 20 double-spaced typed pages.
-Must be accompanied by a separate document with author(s)' name,
complete contact information, and 150-200 word vita.
-Must be free of all identifying information, including
-author(s)' names on title page,
-page properties field,
-track changes (accept all changes), and
-"content clues."

Subject: Call - BPMJ
Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 16:50:42 -0000
From: Ray Hackney <R.Hackney(a)mmu.ac.uk>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
Call for Papers
Business Process Management Journal (Special Issue)
CYBER CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Rationale
The management of cyber supply chains forms the critical foundation
of electronic commerce (EC) transactions. The opportunity through
augmenting electronic business processes in this way is highly valued
providing the core features of the systems are implemented correctly.
The empirical evidence would suggest that essential consideration
should be given to logistics and vendor managed inventory (B2B) as
well as a critical need to focus upon customer relationship management
(B2C). A recent survey indicates that 91% of North American companies
believe that cyber chain management is vital to their business success
and only 2% of these organizations felt that their systems were good.
Clearly, significant additional attention is required to enable the
recognition of concerns to be identified and solutions posed.
This CALL FOR PAPERS addresses these issues and invites submissions
relating to any perceived topics which are be identified to support and
enhance CYBER CHAIN MANAGEMENT (CCM).
Papers are invited for this special edition of the Business Process
Management Journal (BPMJ) on Cyber Chain Management. The aim
is to publish high quality original work highlighting the characteristics of
CCM and the extent and nature of competitive processes. In particular
factors affecting technological acceptance, formulation and
implementation are required whilst acknowledging the engagement and
interface of customer demands. These should include networks of
suppliers, channels of distribution and alternative models from existing
physical system activities. It would be useful to articulate new features
for dynamic trading from adopting these approaches and to challenge
current assumptions relating to business performance and strategy
generally. The coverage of topics is quite liberal and few constraints are
imposed other than a specific focus on CCM issues. The core objective
for this special issue is to provide a vehicle for a well argued
presentation of theoretical constructs and empirical findings which
extend our existing knowledge of the processes involved.
Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited to:
· cyber purchasing
· salient features of CCM
· logistics and channel management
· customer relationship management
· current competitive processes
· challenged assumptions for CCM
· optimization of virtual environments
· virtual enterprises
A 300-word proposal should be sent, for guidance on appropriateness, to
the guest editor <r.hackney(a)mmu.ac.uk> by e-mail. Closing date for
receipt of proposals is March 1, 2002
Full papers should be 3000-5000 words in length, single-spaced, full
justified, and in A4 Word format submitted electronically to the guest
editor <r.hackney(a)mmu.ac.uk> by May 3, 2002. All contributions will
be subjected to a rigorous blind review by at least two experts.
Full papers, following the BPMJ guidelines, as follows;
<http://www.emeraldinsight.com/bpmj.htm>
Two Word file attachments. File 1 - contains a title page giving the name(s)
and full address(es) of the author(s), the title of the paper, its word count
(maximum 5000 words), 5 keywords, and an abstract of 200 words.
File 2 - contains the title of the paper, 5 keywords, a 200-word abstract,
and the full body of the paper. Any information that reveals the identity of
the author(s) should be removed.
