[Rob Kauffman]

    Call for Nominations

The Doctoral Consortium of the 2011 International Conference on Information
Systems

Shanghai, China, November 30 – December 3, 2011

 The Doctoral Consortium of the International Conference on Information
Systems will be held from the evening of Wednesday, November 30 through the
morning of Saturday, December 3 at Fudan University’s School of
Management. Since
the 1980s, the Consortium has provided students who are doing their doctoral
dissertations with the chance to present and obtain comments on their
research, to hear about the work of their peers at other universities, and
to gain an understanding of what academic and research careers are all
about. It also offers students opportunities to make new friendships with
other students and leading faculty around the globe.



The co-chairs of the 2011 ICIS Doctoral Consortium are Professors Robert J.
Kauffman and Jae-Kyu Lee. In addition, ten outstanding faculty mentors
representing the global community of Association for Information Systems
scholars will be participating.



Participation in the ICIS Doctoral Consortium is by invitation only. AIS
member universities may submit only one nominated student for consideration.
An exception is when different units in a university hold separate AIS
memberships. Then each unit is permitted to submit a separate nominee.



Ph.D. students currently working on IS dissertations are eligible to make a
submission if they are nominated. Nominated candidates should intend to
pursue an academic career in IS following the completion of their Ph.D.
studies. Candidates also must successfully defend their dissertation
proposals before they attend the Doctoral Consortium in December, although
they need not have done this prior to the submission deadline in May.
Students who plan to defend their dissertations prior to mid-December 2011
should not apply, and those who end up completing their dissertations before
the Consortium will not be permitted to participate.



The Consortium is designed as an intensive “in-residence” personal
development experience. Thus, participants must not bring guests or family
members to the event, and they should plan to stay at the hotel associated
with the event. Students who are selected to participate in the Consortium
will be given instructions on how to prepare their research papers for
presentation during the Consortium.



Each student selected for the Consortium is expected to attend all of its
meetings and activities, from the opening on Wednesday evening to the
closing on Saturday morning. Candidates who are not able to make this time
commitment should not apply.

Prospective candidates are encouraged to submit their materials for
selection to the Doctoral Consortium. Additional information and details of
the submission requirements will be included on the ICIS 2011 website (
http://icis2011.aisnet.org) in the space dedicated to the Doctoral
Consortium.

All required documents should be submitted through the online submission
system, Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/icis2011). The
submission must be made by the nominated doctoral student, and not by the
nominating faculty member or the student’s institution. All submissions must
be received by the system no later than midnight U.S. PDT on Tuesday, May
31, 2011.
