Call for papers

Multinationals and local firms spawn digital innovations but face different challenges in achieving the best-fit scale. Grassroot digital innovations can potentially lead to the development of global solutions using conscious institutionalization and orchestrated diffusion initiatives. Likewise, mass global technology solutions can be creatively localized allowing digital initiatives to become more socially and economically inclusive, mPESA and PayTM being exemplars. ICIS 2020 aims to bring together thought leaders, researchers, and technology champions to debate ways that can enable the forging of the local and the global to create a shared, equitable digital future for citizens of the world.

We invite you to submit completed research papers or short papers to ICIS 2020. Both types of papers will be presented at ICIS 2020. The conference will also include Panels, a Practitioner track, Professional Development Workshops, and a Paper-a-thon, in addition to 20 tracks covering all areas of IS research. The submission site is at: https://new.precisionconference.com/user/login.

Journal Publication

The AIS Policy on Conference and Journal Publication encourages conference papers to be published in journals. This policy applies to AIS conferences (there are no copyright issues to prevent your AIS conference paper from being published in any journal (AIS or not)), and to AIS journals (there are no restrictions preventing you from submitting your conference paper to an AIS journal). Many non-AIS journals have similar policies, so you can submit your AIS conference paper to them. The policy and list of non-AIS journals with similar policies, is available at the Policy page.
