*Track Description *

The issue of culture has become increasingly pertinent due to the needs for
global market expansion and tapping into global talent pool in response to
the dynamic opportunities as well as uncertainties today. Even large
organizations such as McDonalds, Disney, and Starbucks etc. had to grapple
with multifarious 'cultural bottlenecks' before expanding their operations
in international markets. IT/IS, as indispensable leverages for such
endeavors, need to be planned, implemented, exploited, and managed with
sensitivity to cultural elements entailing the values, beliefs, norms and
world-views held by employees, customers and other stakeholders. While
important advances have been made in research on culture within the IS
community, there remain significant gaps in our understanding of the
nature, precursors, and consequences of the relationship between culture
and IT/IS management.

We invite research articles that provide insights into all aspects of
global IT/IS management with attention paid to the issue of culture at
different levels (e.g., national, organizational, sub-organizational,
occupational, consumer group). Articles of conceptual, analytical, or
empirical nature, which develop or extend theory and practice, are welcome.
Topics of interest include, but not limited to:

   - Virtual collaboration and national culture
   - Culture and global IT outsourcing relationships
   - Cultural barriers to IT implementation
   - Cultural leadership and IT strategies
   - Social media and culture
   - IT/IS and cultural attributes of organizations in the Asia-Pacific
   region
   - Organizational identity and global IS strategy
   - Subcultures and strategic IS
   - Methods for studying cultural impacts of IS/IT
   - Professional cultures and global software development teams
   - IT project management and cross-cultural issues
   - Culture and control in IS development
   - Corporate culture and knowledge sharing
   - Cultural issues in MNC subsidiary units
   - Consumer response to commercial communication across cultures
   - Cultural influences on emerging IT applications

High quality and relevant papers from PACIS 2013 will be fast-tracked to
the Special Issue of several journals, including *Information and
Management, Journal of Global Information Management, Electronic Commerce
Research and Applications, Information Systems Frontiers*, and *Asia
Pacific Journal of Information Systems*.
