CALL FOR PAPERS

19th Americas Conference on Information Systems

Chicago, Illinois, August 15-17, 2013

Track: eGovernment

Mini-track: Social Media in the Public Sector

Description:

This mini-track invites papers that use case studies, surveys or other methods to advance our understanding of social media in the public sector. In particular, we welcome papers that attempt to provide new insights through theories, models or online research data collection methods and social media analytics. During the last few years, public sector organizations have experimented with the broad spectrum of social media applications. Social networking sites, blogging, microblogging, wikis and Web 2.0/3.0 tools have been deployed to support the work of public administration and enhance the creation and delivery of value to the public. These tools have been considered as a source of significant innovation that can even enable new types of relationships with citizens and other government stakeholders. The objectives and value proposition of social media in the public sector seem to be dynamically evolving along the social and technical characteristics of the tools themselves.

Suggested topics:
• Social media in the creation and delivery of public value such as openness and transparency. • Theoretically grounded case studies that demonstrate the negative or positive impact of social media in the public sector in the context of specific events or initiatives. • The role of social media in emergency management and communication with the public. • Studies focused on the impact of social media in public health care. • Strategies and policies for the planning and implementation of social media in the public sector. • Social, legal and ethical issues of social media in the public sector, including theoretical perspectives on the concept of Government 2.0 and its practical implications. • Cost/benefit perspectives and further managerial issues related to evaluating social media in the public sector. • Theories and models of citizen-government relationships on social media. • New perspectives on researching social media in the public sector, specifically approaches using online data collection techniques and social media analytics.

Paper submission deadline:    22  February 2013     11:59 p.m. Central Time
