Sponsored by the CRIM (Center
for Research in Information Management) and by the Information and Decision
Sciences Department, University of Illinois, Chicago
Call for
Participation
You are
invited to participate in the 9th Annual Cross-Cultural Research Meeting. This
year the meeting will be on Sunday, December 16 from 1:00 to 5:30 pm, at the
Ritz-Carlton Hotel, only half a block away from the ICIS conference hotel. This
meeting has been a good point of contact for all those researchers who are
interested in discussing cross-cultural research in Information Systems or who
would like to know a little more about what other researchers are doing in the
same area.
The meeting
will include five presentations by Seymour Goodman, Robert Mason, Celia Romm,
Michelle Kaarst-Brown, Moez Limayem, Mohamed Khalifa, Robert Davison and Maris
Martinsons. We plan on having ample time for discussion and interaction. The fee
to cover costs with room rental, refreshments, and audiovisual rental is 30 USD.
To ensure quality of the interaction, limited space will be available on a
first-come, first-serve basis. Payment will be accepted either in check payable
to IDS Department, University of Illinois, Chicago (please mail to address
below), or -- for non-US researchers -- in cash at the convention location.
Advance notice of intention of participating is recommended to ensure space
availability.
Looking
forward to seeing you there,
Roberto
Evaristo, Cross-Cultural Meeting Coordinator (evaristo@uic.edu) Information and
Decision Sciences Department, 601 S. Morgan Street MC 294, University of
Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60607
