-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP Journal of Information Technology (JIT) Special Issue on Products of Theorizing Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2021 12:08:47 -0500 From: Nik Rushdi Hassan nhassan@d.umn.edu To: AISWorld aisworld@lists.aisnet.org

Dear colleagues, Just a quick reminder for those interested in 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 to send their extended abstracts by Oct 24. 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 Only Virtual (Zoom) 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 Feb 1, 2022.

Sincerely Nik, Leslie, Suzanne & Ulrike
