[Fernandez, Walter]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,


Sorry for cross-posting.



You are invited to participate in the 6th Grounded Theory Workshop to be held immediately after ICIS 2012 in Orlando, Florida. We have a great program including the Editor-in-Chief of EJIS, 4 Senior Editors from MISQ and ISR, and numerous Associated Editors from top journals.  The theme of the workshop is “How to Publish GTM research in top IS journals”. We hope to see you there.


Place and Time: Orlando, Florida, Wednesday Dec 19th 2012 12:30hs to 18:00hs.


This annual event has been designed to provide a collegial environment to suitable to all researchers, from beginners to experts. The workshop fosters the discussion of GTM-related practical issues in a friendly, constructive and learned atmosphere. This year the main theme of the workshop is how to publish GTM papers in top IS journals, with a particular attention paid to the question of how to incorporate existing/prior theory into GTM papers.  We are not inviting individual paper/abstract submissions, but rather hope to generate productive dialogue through some short presentations and panel discussions.
