European, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Conference on Information Systems (EMCIS) a grade (B) conference, entering its 8th year is one of the premier conferences in Europe and Middle Eastern region covering technical, organisational, business and social issues in the application of Information Technology. EMCIS 2011 will host several themes across parallel tracks covering a diverse breadth of current issues. Accepted papers will be published in the online conference proceedings with an ISBN number available through the EMCIS conference website ensuring knowledge sharing across the wider research community.

Background

In the current economic downturn, managers and academics in the IS discipline continue to contemplate over the critical challenges of how to integrate technologies to transform organisational performance within emerging economies. While striving to meet such an objective, organisations need to consider responsible management in the adoption and implementation of IT. Regardless of numerous research studies offering significant empirical findings, the area of sustainability and responsible management in Information Technology and Information Systems (IT/IS) is currently at the forefront and a priority for practitioners and top managers in both private and public sectors. Stakeholders (including citizens/customers, businesses etc) anticipate private and public sector organisations to furnish IS solutions that go beyond efficiency, effectiveness and focus more on sustainability facilitated by responsible management. Globalisation, environmental disasters and social hardship caused by organisations have changed society's expectations regarding the way businesses operate. Organisations have reacted by developing a 'total responsibility approach' to management, combining the drive for financial results with the goal to live up to their social and environmental responsibility. In this context, EMCIS 2011 aims to exploit and help develop the array of different initiatives at national and international levels, promoting the concept.

Theme: 'Informing Responsible Management: Sustainability in Emerging Economies'

The EMCIS conference committee takes this opportunity to extend an invitation to academics and practitioners in the field of IS and Business Management to submit your paper for its 8th annual conference held in Athens, Greece. The emphasis of the conference this year will be on high quality, theoretical and/or applied research relating IS to the different disciplines of corporate and academic services in emerging economies, highlighting the importance of sustainability adoption across the various tracks.

-        Transforming Government: People, Process and Policy (TG:PPP)
