The track welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of global IS, 
or IS research situated in a global, international or cross-cultural 
context.
The track is open to all methodological approaches and perspectives. 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Research that considers the impacts of cultural values (e.g. on 
systems use, adoption or development)
* Research on global IT sourcing strategies
* Cross-national and cross-cultural comparisons of IS adoption, use and 
development (e.g. ERP diffusion and impacts compared between different 
economies)
* Issues relating to globally distributed teams (e.g. the adoption and 
use of social media by cross-national virtual teams)
* Issues relating to IT adoption at the national level (e.g. IT 
infrastructure sophistication across countries)
* Issues relating to global knowledge management (e.g. different 
knowledge-sharing cultures in multi-national corporations)
* Issues relating to cross-national legislation and regulation (e.g. 
implications of different regulations governing Green IT in the EU vs. 
US or Asian countries)
* Issues relating to global information governance (e.g. sustainable 
strategies for standardization and harmonization in evolving business 
networks)
* Single country studies showing implications for other locations or 
results different from other contexts (e.g. impact of IT policies on a 
transition economy)
* Multi-country studies of IS adoption, use, and development (e.g. ERP 
implementations involving multiple countries)
