European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS) - Call For Papers Special Issue on "Information Systems and Innovation in the Public Sector" Guest Editors: Raquel Benbunan-Fich, Kevin C. Desouza, Kim Normann Andersen

This special issue welcomes contributions on information systems as enablers of innovation in the public sector, at the municipal, state or federal level, in any nation, and even between countries. Information systems are the catalysts for IT-enabled innovations that are transforming the nature of public agencies, the manner in which they design, implement, and evaluate public policy, and the governance of public goods. The goal of this special issue is to advance the state-of-the-art by encouraging groundbreaking, thought-provoking, and novel papers that examine all facets of information systems-enabled innovation in the public sphere.

We are specifically interested in papers that push the frontiers on how the implementation of new information systems in the public sector enable strategic innovation. New public sector initiatives around the world include the adoption of IoT in Smart Cities, the use of cloud computing and data analytics for improved decision-making and policy development, the implementation of blockchain to license government assets and transmit records securely, or the incorporation of artificial intelligence applications for the delivery of e-services. In this context, the aim of this special issue is to compile theoretically-grounded and empirically-valid assessments of these initiatives.

Papers of interest can be conceptual or empirical, but must advance our understanding of innovation dynamics in the public sphere. Submissions may address any the following topic areas but are not be limited to these: * Emerging IS governance models * Financing IS projects, systems, and organizations * Adoption and assimilation of emerging technologies * Predictive analytics and personalization of public services * Mega-scale IS projects * Public values in information systems innovation * The role of Chief 'X' Officers in the Public Sector (CIOs, CTOs, and CSOs) * Cybersecurity in the Public Sector * IS Outsourcing and public-private partnerships * Digital platforms and ecosystems * Social networking platforms and public opinion * Digital civic activism * The next frontiers of digital divides
