The SIGGreen Pre‐ICIS 2016 workshop is the annual meeting of SIGGreen. The workshop provides a forum that accounts for the breadth of sustainability research in IS and thus contributes to further developing this important IS research domain. The workshop is also open for non‐members of SIGGreen.
The workshop will be broadcast online. Workshop papers will be published as working papers on AIS Electronic Library (http://aisel.aisnet.org).

]]>The post Sustainability and Societal Impacts of IS appeared first on ICIS 2016.
]]>This track welcomes theoretical and empirical perspectives on societal impacts of information systems (IS). These impacts can be actual or potential, intended or unintended, and positive, negative or diverse in effect. The relationship of these impacts to the longer term sustainability of society itself is integral to IS research and concern.
The consequences of IS, whether they revolve around environmental, social, or ethical issues, can translate into degradation or betterment of the natural environment, better or worse quality of life and work, social inclusion/exclusion, (non)discrimination, and (un)employment. For example, IS can contribute to climate change through increasing carbon footprints, but can also provide a means for managing that carbon footprint.
The IS community is uniquely positioned to address these issues of sustainability and societal impacts, given its encompassing knowledge of both technical and social dimensions, along with its solution-oriented focus that has been developed over four decades.
We invite innovative, rigorous and relevant IS studies addressing these issues and employing a wide variety of methods. Empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies as well as design-oriented research and conceptual papers on theory development will be considered. Due to the broad and inclusive nature of the topic, we encourage the submission of studies that address a variety of different units of analysis, including individual, group, process, organization, government, and society at large. The research questions may be derived from a broad spectrum of disciplines including information systems and business, engineering, management, operations management, applied computer science, environmental science, marketing, economics, psychology, sociology, etc.
