*Call for Papers*
Location analytics and GIS have become deeply integrated into society,
transforming every aspect of human’s life. These technologies move the
Internet beyond cyberspace to the location-aware Internet of Things (IoT),
so-called Location of Things (LoT). They enable connections among objects
whether they are fixed (such as appliances at homes and warehouses) or
moving (such as cars, pedestrians, and trucks), helping cooperation of
these objects and the analysis of their mobility patterns in space and time.
While locational technologies can create value, the very success of these
technologies also raises issues related to the use of spatial data, such as
privacy and trust.
Manuscripts focusing on conceptual model, theory, methodology,
applications, behavioral studies, and case studies with regard to emerging
opportunities and issues in location analytics, location-aware IoT, or GIS,
and its applications in the collaborative economy are welcome in the
following areas:
*Potential topics (not limited to topics listed below):*
· Location analytics

When Institutional Logics Meet Information and Communication
Technologies: Examining Hybrid Information Practices in Ghana’s Agriculture
Mira Slavova, University of Warwick and University of Pretoria
Stan Karanasios, RMIT University
Abstract
In this paper, we describe how changes in the availability of
information artifacts—in particular, information and communication
technologies (ICTs)—among smallholder farmers in Ghana, led to a process
of hybridization of information practices, and how this process could be
linked to underlying institutional change. We use the notions of
institutional carriers and activity systems to study the evolution of
the prevailing “smallholder” institutional logic of Ghanaian agriculture
toward an incoming “value-chain” institutional logic concerned with
linking farmers to output markets, improving the knowledge base in
agriculture, and increasing its information intensity. We draw on a
mixed-methods approach, including in-depth qualitative interviews, focus
groups, observations, and detailed secondary quantitative data. We
cultivate activity theory as a practice-based lens for structuring
inquiry into institutional change. We find that information artifacts
served to link the activities of farmers that were embedded in the
smallholder logic with those of agricultural-development actors that
promoted the value-chain logic. Hybridization occurred through the use
of artifacts with different interaction modalities. In terms of
conceptualizing change, our findings suggest that hybridization of the
two logics may be an intermediary point in the long transition from the
smallholder toward the value-chain logic.

Paper
How Social Media-Enabled Communication Awareness Enhances Project Team
Performance
Oliver Krancher, IT University of Copenhagen
Jens Dibbern, University of Bern
Paul Meyer, Meyer Werft, Germany
Abstract
Project teams increasingly rely on computer-mediated communication. In
this paper, we propose that communication within these teams benefits
from a communication-awareness feature that summarizes communication in
one common place. We argue that such a feature pays off specifically
during action episodes, when team members engage in taskwork. We
conducted two studies of 51 and 35 project teams to examine how the
amount of communication during action episodes relates to team
performance under low- versus high-communication awareness. In both
studies, we technologically designed communication awareness as the
availability of a feed, known from social media platforms, that displays
all team-internal, computer-mediated communication. The results show
that the communication-awareness feature makes communication during
action episodes more beneficial, both in term of effectiveness and
efficiency. Zooming into the temporal patterns of communication during
action episodes further reveals that high-performing teams in the
high-communication-awareness condition stand out in terms of early and
steady communication. We conclude by discussing implications for current
and future research on team communication and awareness support.

Paper
Concentration, Competence, Confidence, and Capture: An Experimental
Study of Age, Interruption-based Technostress, and Task Performance
Stefan Tams, HEC Montreal
Jason B. Thatcher, University of Alabama
Varun Grover, University of Arkansas
Abstract
Recently, information systems research has devoted increasing attention
to formative measurements. However, current approaches to modeling
formative constructs have potential validity problems and thus limited
applicability. Here, we highlight two major problems in formative
measurement—interpretational confounding and interpretational
ambiguity—and propose a novel resolution. Interpretational confounding
occurs when using the traditional free-estimation approach, because the
weights of different formative indicators vary as the dependent variable
changes, resulting in the distortion of the measurement weights of the
focal formative construct and thus jeopardizing the generalizability of
empirical tests. Another way to alleviate the
interpretational-confounding issue is to include the multiple indicators
multiple causes (MIMIC) construct in the path model (i.e., MIMIC-path).
Unfortunately, this method has led to the second major problem of
interpretational ambiguity, the existence of more than one potential
explanation of the formative model. More specifically, reflective
indicators in the MIMIC model can be viewed as (1) indicators of the
MIMIC construct, (2) dependent variables of the formative construct, or
(3) indicators of a reflective construct affected by independent
variables (formative indicators). To resolve these issues, we propose a
two-stage fixed-weight redundancy model (FWRM) approach. We demonstrate
the applicability of the FWRM approach with a set of survey data. We
conducted a simulation study evaluating the FWRM approach by comparing
it with the commonly used free-estimation and MIMIC-path methods. The
results indicate that our FWRM approach can indeed improve the validity
of formative construct modeling by mitigating confounding and ambiguity
issues.

Editorial
Learning from First-Generation Qualitative Approaches in the IS
Discipline: An Evolutionary View and Some Implications for Authors and
Evaluators (Part 2/2)
Suprateek Sarker, University of Virginia
Xiao Xiao, Copenhagen Business School
Tanya Beaulieu, Utah State University
Allen S. Lee, Virginia Commonwealth University
Abstract
Qualitative research in the information systems (IS) discipline has come
a long way, from being dismissed as “exploratory research” or
“preresearch,” not worthy of being featured in “scientific” and
authoritative journals in the discipline, to a state where such research
is seen as legitimate and even welcome within much of the mainstream IS
research community. Recent editorials have expressed concerns regarding
the research community’s lack of awareness about the diverse nature of
qualitative research and the apparent confusion regarding how these
diverse approaches are different. In this two-part editorial, Part 1
focused on analyzing first-generation qualitative research approaches
based on four key elements (theory, data, analysis, and claims), and
discussed how each of these elements might vary depending on the type
(i.e., genre) of the qualitative study. In Part 2, we examine
qualitative studies published over the past 17 years in four leading
journals for evidence related to the genres identified in Part 1 of this
editorial. Specifically, our goal was to assess the recognition of
various genres in the published papers, and to determine whether there
was sufficient internal consistency for a given genre within each paper.
Based on the results of the assessment, we offer lessons for authors,
reviewers, and editors.
