CALL FOR PAPERS ***AMCIS 2020: Issues in the IT Profession *** August 12-16, 2020, Salt Lake City, UT, USA Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2020
***Mini-track Description*** Though articles on issues in the IT profession are common in both the practitioner press and the technology vendor community, much less attention has been devoted to the topic from an academic perspective. Managing IT requires leaders to understand the interplay between managerial decisions and information technologies and systems. Research regarding issues in the IT profession examines the business impacts relating to the decisions that IS leaders must make regarding the people, processes, data and technology that are make up information systems. Research areas related to issues of the IT profession are informed by the results of the Society of Information Management (SIM) annual survey of IS leadership priorities. The mini-track seeks to explore the various dimensions, theoretical bases, and perspectives on issues in the IT profession 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.
