Description
A major mission of the information systems discipline is to produce relevant academic research that is useful to IS practice. The ICIS practice-oriented research track will contribute to this mission. The track welcomes submission of practice-oriented IS research on any topics that are highly relevant and useful to practicing IS executives.
Criteria for acceptance of submissions will be similar to those adopted by MISQ Executive. Authors are encouraged to submit in-depth research that provides rich stories, unique insights, and useful conceptual frameworks for information systems practice. The target audience is primarily practitioners, but also includes researchers and students so that we can stimulate ongoing discussions at the intersection of research and practice and contribute to the development of future industry leaders. Submitted papers will be specifically screened for relevance and usefulness to IS practice. Submissions are also expected to demonstrate a rigor that makes the findings credible to a discriminating reader.
The Editor-in-Chief of MISQ Executive offers accepted papers of this track an opportunity to go through a fast-track review, development, and publication process at MISQ Executive.
In addition to paper presentations, this track will invite IT leaders from various industries to: (1) give keynote speeches; (2) attend mixed practitioner/researcher panels; and (3) serve as discussants in research presentations to provide feedback and help define further questions for practice-oriented IS research.
Overall, this track aims to:
- Extend the reach of ICIS to IS executives
- Showcase highest quality practice-oriented IS research
- Promote practice-oriented IS research as a key source of insight and guidance for IS practice
- Provide researchers a platform to present and discuss their practice-oriented IS research findings with IS executives and academics and expose the community to current challenges in IS practice
- Help identify the most challenging managerial issues in IS practice and frame them as new questions that could guide future practice-oriented IS research
