*Aims and Scope:*

The IS Leadership Development mini-track in Human Capital in IS is aimed at
fostering a forum for IS scholars engaged in IS Leadership Development
research to share their research, engage in exchange of perspectives, and
encourage future collaborations. IS Leadership Development is broadly
defined to include research on IS leaders such as CIOs and CTOs, including
their roles and careers. This proposed mini-track would be sponsored by the
AIS Special Interest Group on IS Leadership (SIGLead).



Though articles on IS Leadership Development abound in the practitioner
press, much less attention has been devoted to the topic from an academic
perspective. IS Leadership Development sets directions, creates commitment,
and adapts the IS unit to fit a changing environment. It is, thus, an
enduring concern to IS academics and practitioners alike. It is an issue
that should face organizations for many years because leadership has been a
persistent concern of all societies and organizations. The mini-track seeks
to explore the various dimensions, theoretical bases, and perspectives on
IS Leadership Development and to advance the state of scholarship on the
issue. Authors are encouraged to submit both conceptual and empirical
papers that employ a variety of quantitative and qualitative methodologies.



*Expected Number of Papers:* 6-8



*Potential Authors:* SIGLead Members, IS Leadership Development Researchers
