Call for Papers Cross-Cultural Research in Information Systems Meeting: A joint AIS (SIG-CCRIS) and JSIS workshop

"Culture's consequences revisited: Strategic and societal considerations of how culture impacts and is impacted by ICT" December 14th, 2008 – Paris, France Sponsored by 3M and Elsevier

--- Revised paper submission deadline: Monday October 13, 2008 ---

In the context of the ICIS'08 conference theme on the Ethics, Design and Consequences of IT, AIS SIG-Cross Cultural Research on Information Systems (CCRIS) and the Journal of Strategic Information Systems (JSIS) are hosting the above workshop on Sunday, Dec. 14th, 2008 prior to ICIS. We request submissions from colleagues interested in the key strategic and societal issues associated with the workshop focus by Monday October 13, 2008 at the latest. The meeting/workshop is jointly sponsored by 3M and Elsevier.

Submissions addressing how culture, broadly defined, shapes the way Information Systems are designed, used by, or affect society and organizations are of interest to this workshop. Finished papers, research-in-progress and panel proposals are sought. Submissions will be double blind peer reviewed.

With a long tradition of congregating researchers interested in cross-cultural issues in IS, the AIS SIG-CCRIS meeting, now in its 16th year, has been a good point of contact for those who are actively involved in the area or who would like to know more about what other researchers are doing in this area. This year, AIS SIG-CCRIS is joining forces with the Journal of Strategic Information Systems in holding the meeting.

The editors of JSIS particularly encourage submissions that examine the role of culture in shaping the use of, and impact on emerging ICT, and the ways in which ICT may impact culture - in society, in organizations and in groups, virtual or otherwise. We encourage submissions from diverse theoretical and practical perspectives, especially those that critique some of the more facile treatments of culture that have appeared in IS discourse in the past. The strategic issues associated with the workshop theme may relate to societal, business, policy, organization, and or technology considerations. The workshop offers an opportunity for authors to receive feedback from colleagues and to develop their papers further for later submission to the special issue of JSIS on this topic that will appear in late 2009 or early 2010. The special issue deadline is May 4, 2009.

This year's keynote address will be given by Dr. Dorothy E Leidner, The Ferguson Professor of IS at Baylor University, and former JSIS senior editor. Her topic is "Technology, Globalization and Humanity: Riding the Waves in Cross-Culture Research".

Important Dates Submission Deadline: October 13, 2008 Notification of Acceptance: November 15, 2008 Final Paper Due: December 7, 2008 JSIS Special Issue Submission Deadline: May 4, 2009

Submission Format Papers may have up to 25 double-spaced pages including bibliography. Panel proposals should include name and affiliation of all participants as well as a description of the proposed panel. Electronic submission - either PDF or Word files – is required. Submissions must be sent to Roberto Evaristo at jroberto.evaristo@gmail.com and must be carbon copied to Monica Adya at monica.adya@marquette.edu.
