Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), San Diego, August 11-13, 2016, http://amcis2016.aisnet.org/
Mini-Track Title: IS Leadership Development Track: Human Capital in Information Systems (SIGLEAD)
Aims and Scope: The IS Leadership Development mini-track in Human Capital in IS is aimed at fostering a forum for IS scholars engaged in IS Leadership Development research to share their research, engage in exchange of perspectives, and encourage future collaborations. IS Leadership Development is broadly defined to include research on IS leaders such as CIOs and CTOs, including their roles and careers. This proposed mini-track would be sponsored by the AIS Special Interest Group on IS Leadership (SIGLead).
Though articles on IS Leadership Development abound in the practitioner press, much less attention has been devoted to the topic from an academic perspective. IS Leadership Development sets directions, creates commitment, and adapts the IS unit to fit a changing environment. It is, thus, an enduring concern to IS academics and practitioners alike. It is an issue that should face organizations for many years because leadership has been a persistent concern of all societies and organizations. The mini-track seeks to explore the various dimensions, theoretical bases, and perspectives on IS Leadership Development and to advance the state of scholarship on the issue. Authors are encouraged to submit both conceptual and empirical papers that employ a variety of quantitative and qualitative methodologies.
Possible Topics: CIO and CTO Roles and Careers * CIO reporting structure * Strategic positioning within the organization * Characteristics of a successful leader * Managing success and failure
Technical Employee Development (i.e. Career Transition) * Promoting from within the company or hiring from the outside * Required skills for CIOs and CTOs * Qualifications for being promoted to CEO * IS succession planning
Non-Technical Employee Development (i.e. Career Transition for Non-IT Managers) * Preparation and development of non-technical executives for CIO and CTO positions in large enterprises * Preparation and development of non-technical executives for CIO and CTO positions for IS as a secondary role in SMEs * Importance of CIOs to have a "pure" IT background
Important Dates: * January 4, 2016: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2016 begin * March 2, 2016 (10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time): Deadline for paper submissions
