-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP Journal of Information Technology (JIT) Special Issue on Products of Theorizing Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2021 13:37:42 -0500 From: Nik Rushdi Hassan nhassan@d.umn.edu To: AISWorld aisworld@lists.aisnet.org
Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce and launch the Journal of Information Technology (JIT) Special Issue titled "Products of Theorizing: Towards Native Theories of Emerging Information Technology" (click here for more details) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JEiENIg25RtBPYqzoucc3-uTrNT2Wl1M/view?usp=sharing. The goal of this special issue is to showcase exemplars from the “products of theorizing” approach that focus on approximations of IS theory. This “products of theorizing” perspective on theory celebrates the outputs of the “interim struggles” (Weick, 1995) that characterize theory generation. It holds the promise that interim conceptual artefacts of theorizing such as models, metaphors, frameworks and concepts that belong to the discipline are valuable as they can be leveraged and exploited further in subsequent research. In this way, a discipline might inch its way towards native theories over time. We are looking for articles that go beyond derivative theories and push the envelope of theorizing towards native products of theorizing. To ensure that submissions meet the goals of the special issue, authors are encouraged to submit an extended abstract to the editors (myself, Nik Rushdi Hassan, nhassan@d.umn.edu, Leslie Willcocks (willcockslp@aol.com ), Suzanne Rivard (suzanne.rivard@hec.ca) and Ulrike Schultze (uschultz@smu.edu) by Oct 24, 2021. The SIGPHIL will also be holding a workshop at ICIS 2021 (Austin) on Dec 12-13 based on the same theme (Products of Theorizing) https://sigphil.wordpress.com/9th-concurrent-sigphilicis-workshop-on-products-of-theorizing-towards-native-theories-of-emerging-information-technology-dec-12-13-austin-texas/. Submissions are due on Jan 15, 2022.
Sincerely Nik, Leslie, Suzanne & Ulrike
