-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Reminder CFP JCMC: Social Media and Communication in the Workplace Datum: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:06:59 +0000 Von: Huysman, M.H. <m.h.huysman(a)vu.nl> An: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *Reminder, Call for Papers, deadline February 1^st * *Journal of Computer Mediated Communication (JCMC) special Issue on Social Media and Communication in the Workplace * *Guest Editors:* Charles Steinfield, Michigan State University, steinfie(a)msu.edu <mailto:steinfie@msu.edu> Marleen Huysman, VU University Amsterdam, m.h.huysman(a)vu.nl <mailto:m.h.huysman@vu.nl> Paul Leonardi, Northwestern University, leonardi(a)northwestern.edu <mailto:leonardi@northwestern.edu> Social media technologies have the potential to change important communication processes within organizations. As social media proliferate, it seems likely that organizational members will use them to carry out socialization, identification, collaboration, innovation, relationship development, persuasion, learning, social capital formation, and knowledge sharing processes. The explosive growth of these technologies has not gone unnoticed bycommunication and information scholars, as evidenced by the equally rapid growth in articles related to the uses and impacts of social media, including a prior special issue on social network sites here in JCMC (vol. 13, no. 1, 2007). Much of this prior work has been conducted among student populations or in the context of advertising andmarketing, and, as such, has not focused on social media use in organizations. Studies that do take theorganization into account, generally relate to such fields as information systems marketing, and strategicmanagement, with the aim of understanding how social media can be leveraged to enhance business performance. Less well studied, however, is the influence of social media on a range of organizationalcommunication processes within workplace contexts. *Focus of the Special Issue:* We invite submissions to a special issue of the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication focusing onresearch on social media within the organizational context. Our aim is to highlight research that explores how the affordances of social media interact with organizational contexts, behaviors, and communicationpractices to influence processes of interest to organizational scholars. We are interested in submissions that enable us to better understand how social media affordances make a difference in workplace settings. Affordances are the result of the intertwining of capabilities provided by thetechnologies and the actions taken by the actors using them. Papers are especially welcome that integrate thematerial aspects of the technology with its use in organizational communication processes. Submissions that focus on such topics as the role of social media in attracting customers or influencing sales will be given lesspriority as these topics are extensively covered in other outlets. We are intentionally not providing a definition of social media in this call for papers, but ask authors to do so withintheir manuscripts. We encourage authors to be explicit about what it is about the media they are studying that makes them "social" and to provide definitions that are robust enough to endure over time. We encourage diverse methodological approaches, including both qualitative and quantitative studies. Conceptualpapers as well as empirical studies are welcome. All papers must be theoretically motivated. *Submission Process and Author Guidelines: * Papers will undergo an initial screening by the three special issue editors in an accelerated review process. A setof selected papers will then be invited for submission to the JCMC system and will undergo a formal review led bythe special issue editors in conjunction with JCMC reviewers. Submissions should follow JCMC formatting guidelines available at the journal site (http://www.wiley.com/bw/submit.asp?ref=1083-6101) and should be sent via email to the special issue editors by February 1, 2012. Initial screening decisions will be completed by March 15, 2012, and selected papers must besubmitted to the JCMC system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcmc by April 15, 2012. Final acceptance decisions will be completed by July 15, 2012.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: GreenBPM / AMCIS 2012 Datum: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:38:37 +0000 Von: vom Brocke Jan <jan.vom.brocke(a)uni.li> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> GREEN BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT: How Organizations Can Become More Sustainable in Their Operations? 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 Mini-Track DESCRIPTION Organizations have been a major contributor to environmental degradation caused by resource consumption, greenhouse emissions and wastage. Focusing on targets such as time, cost, quality, and flexibility of processes, the environmental consequences of their operations have largely dropped off of the agenda. With the growing awareness for global crises such as rapid climate change and the social divide, individuals, organizations, and governments increasingly recognize the need for sustainable development. As a consequence, the notion of sustainability has evolved around economical, social and ecological issues and IS researchers started to investigate the role of IT contributing to these issues. These studies indicate that it is not only IT but also the operations in organisations that play a major role in utilizing resources and, thus, impacting sustainability objectives. This is, why this Mini-Track particularly investigates how such operations can be studied from a business process management perspective. Over the past decades business process management (BPM) has been established as an integrated management discipline leveraging the transformative power of information systems in various areas of interest. BPM has been defined as “a structured, coherent and consistent way of understanding, documenting, modeling, analyzing, simulating, executing and continuously changing end-to-end business processes and all involved resources in light of their contribution to business success.” As such, BPM has been recognised an important sub-domain of the IS discipline and remarkable achievements have been made in leveraging information technology for improving and innovating processes. We now want to extend this knowledge to make processes more environmentally friendly. Energy efficiency, water supply and emissions management are major challenges of today’s society and we firmly believe that contributions from the field of business process management can be of great academic value and immediate update by practice at the same time. SUGGESTED TOPICS Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Theoretical Underpinnings of Green BPM - Designing a Framework for Organizational Sustainability Campaigns - Measuring Sustainability in Management Accounting and Process Performance Measurement - Capturing Sustainability in Process Modelling - Understanding and Managing Sustainability Transformations in Organizations - The Role of IT in Sustainability Transformations - The Role of People and Culture in Sustainability Transformations - Sustainability at the city or regional level - Case Studies on Sustainability Transformations IMPORTANT DATES March 1, 2012 Deadline for paper submissions April 2, 2012 Author notification April 20, 2012 Camera-ready copy due August 9-12, 2012 Conference CHAIRS Jan vom Brocke, University of Liechtenstein, jan.vom.brocke(a)uni.li Brian Donnellan, National University of Ireland Maynooth, brian.donnellan(a)nuim.ie Philip DesAutels, Microsoft Corporation, philipda(a)microsoft.com WEBLINK http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/index.php/program/tracks-and-minitracks/143-sig… ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal ##################################################################################### _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: AMCIS 2012 - Minitrack on Negative Cognitions About IS Datum: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 11:14:58 -0600 Von: Lockwood, Nick <LockwoodN(a)mst.edu> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS AMCIS 2012 Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012 Track: HCI Studies in Information Systems (SIGHCI) Mini-track: Negative Cognitions About Information Systems There is an increasingly persistent dichotomy in the way that emerging Information Systems (IS)-enabled patterns for work and collaboration are affecting IS users. On the one hand, they enable vast improvements in processes and decisions. On the other, they lead to negative cognitions and outcomes such as stress, frustrations and information overload. There has been a recent surge of interest in negative cognitions associated with using IS related, for example, to technostress, intrusiveness and deceptiveness, credibility and deception, addiction to technology use, and distrust. These studies explore various facets of detrimental conditions that users of IS experience-conditions that, given the ubiquity of IS use, are potentially pervasive. The objective of this mini-track is to develop theoretical insight and understanding on HCI topics and issues that address this "troubling" side of IS. Submissions addressing all aspects of this topic are welcome. We welcome conceptual, theoretical or empirical research papers. We particularly welcome papers that apply theories and perspectives from different disciplines (e.g., theories of stress from psychology, information overload and interruption from information science, and work-life balance from industrial management) to examine various aspects of this phenomenon. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding: conceptualizations of troubling or negative interactions between IS and users, such as interruptions, information overload, constant connectivity to work-related information processing, addiction to IS use, and difficulties in learning how to use constantly changing technologies and applications. 2. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding: outcomes from the above interactions such as stress, difficulty in concentrating, multitasking, user dissatisfaction, effects on productivity and performance, disruption of work-life balance, over-dependence on IS. 3. Any other HCI topics related to negative affective responses and the cause and effect relationships between cues embedded in system designs and/or methods that can mitigate or exacerbate those negative responses. IMPORTANT DATES: March 1, 2012 - Deadline for paper submissions April 6, 2012 - Notification of acceptance April 25, 2012 - Final copy due INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012. For complete instructions for authors and information about the conference, visit the AMCIS 2012 conference website at http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/.

A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topics. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster". Please check further details about position papers submission at the conference website (http://www.webist.org/SubmissionGuidelines.aspx). We would like to highlight the presence of the following keynote speakers: Dave Cliff (University of Bristol, United Kingdom), Fernando Teixeira de Sousa (IBM, Portugal) and David De Roure (University of Oxford, United Kingdom). Please check the website for further information (http://www.webist.org/KeynoteSpeakers.aspx). Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and CD-ROM support. BLFA A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a LNBIP Series book. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by major international indexers, including Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and Elsevier Index (EI). Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information (http://www.webist.org/BestPaperAward.aspx). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SciTePress is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/). Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea. Please check further details at the WEBIST 2012 conference web site (http://www.webist.org). There you will find detailed information about the conference structure and its main topic areas. This conference is co-located with CSEDU 2012 (4th International Conference on Computer Supported Education - http://www.csedu.org/), CLOSER 2012 (2nd International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science - http://closer.scitevents.org/) and SMARTGREENS 2012 (1st International Conference on Smart Grids and Green IT Systems - http://www.smartgreens.org). Registration to WEBIST will enable free attendance to any sessions of CSEDU, CLOSER and SMARTGREENS 2012 as a non-speaker. Should you have any question please don't hesitate contacting me.

Fwd: [AISWorld] IT Artefact Design & Workpractice Intervention – Cfp PreECIS-workshop

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] IT Artefact Design & Workpractice Intervention – Cfp PreECIS-workshop Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:03:50 +0100 From: Göran Goldkuhl <goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> /First Call for papers / A Pre-ECIS and AIS SIG Prag Workshop on *IT Artefact Design & Workpractice Intervention* June 10, 2012, Barcelona *Invitation* An international workshop for IS scholars interested in one or more of the following related issues: ·design science research ·theorizing the IT artefact ·action research and other intervention strategies ·theorizing practices and work-systems ·the use of action-oriented theories in IS ·practice relevance and usefulness of IS research ·researcher-practitioner collaboration ·engaged scholarship ·practice research ·pragmatist epistemology There is a growing interest in IS research for research strategies aiming for design and change. This can be pursued through design science research (Hevner et al, 2004), action research (Davison et al, 2004) or combinations thereof (Sein et al, 2011). Accompanying an interest for the design of IT artefacts is a quest for theorizing the IT artefact (Orlikowski & Iacono, 2001). Improved understanding of IT artefacts is needed in relation to their design, use and evolution. An improved understanding of the context of IT artefacts is needed as well. There is growing interest to theorize the context as practices (Feldman & Orlikowski, 2011; Goldkuhl, 2011) or work-systems (Alter, 2006). This includes an interest for the combined social and material characters of such practices (Orlikowski & Scott, 2008). The interest for design and change follows the claim for relevance and usefulness of IS research (Benbasat & Zmud, 1999) and the importance of researcher-practitioner collaboration (Mathiassen, 2002). This kind of research orientation have been giving different labels like e.g. engaged scholarship (Van de Ven, 2007; Mathiassen & Nielsen, 2008), mode 2 knowledge production (Nowotny et al, 2001), practice research (Mathiassen, 2002; Goldkuhl, 2011) or practical science (Gregor, 2008). Pivotal in this search for more relevant and useful research is the articulation of supportive, prescriptive and normative knowledge. This can take the form of design theory (Gregor & Jones, 2007) or the broader notion of practical theory (Cronen, 2001; Goldkuhl, 2007). In order to bring these different threads together we must turn to pragmatist epistemology. There is a re-introduction of pragmatism as a viable research paradigm in some social sciences (Wicks & Freeman, 1998; Fishman, 1999) including information systems (Goles & Hirschheim, 2000; Ågerfalk, 2010; Goldkuhl, 2012) as manifested by the formation of the AIS Special Interest Group on Pragmatist IS Research (SIGPRag) in 2008 (www.sigprag.org). The pragmatist foundations of design science research (Lee & Nickerson, 2010) and action research (Baskerville & Myers, 2004) have also been acknowledged. Pragmatist epistemology joins together the different threads described above: ·Knowledge in the making ·Relevant and useful knowledge ·Knowledge of actions and practices The purpose of this workshop is to bring together scholars interested in one or more of these pragmatist threads. This is done in order to weave a pragmatist web to be more powerful in its knowledge generation and use. Theoretical reflections and concrete examples are demanded! *Dates and submission details * /Submissions/: March 25, 2012 /Notification/: April 30, 2012 /Final manuscripts/: May 25, 2012 /Workshop/: June 10, 2012, Barcelona, Spain (just before the 20^th European Conference on Information Systems, ECIS-2012) The workshop website is www.vits.org/adwi/.
