Track Chairs
Description
Information systems have become ubiquitous and intertwined in most organizational contexts, from small businesses to governments, and in most social contexts from ephemeral groups to societies at large. As such research that investigates relationships between information technologies, systems, and social organization is imperative. This track seeks to publish a set of papers that provides a scholarly understanding of the relationship between information technologies, systems and social organization of all forms including how organizational structures, processes, and people are impacted as well as how these organizational forms influence technology design, functionality and management. We welcome submissions that that show, either empirically, theoretically or both, how organizational processes and structures; individual and group actions and behaviors; and technology features interact to affect the creation, use, and consequences of information systems. The IS in Organization and Society track also welcomes papers that offer critical accounts of the techo-organizational phenomenon from alternative theoretical perspective represented within the IS community. The Track Chairs will nominate suitable papers for an expedited review process at Information and Organization, in which the journal’s editorial board will work with authors to develop the manuscript for possible publication. Authors may expect an expedited timeline for editorial decisions.
