Minitrack:  LIFE IN THE FAST LANE: THE INTERSECTION OF MOBILE COMPUTING AND THE IS WORKFORCE

(Organizational Systems and Technology track)



This minitrack covers issues relating to the places where people and technology meet, that may be examined from an organizational, managerial, psychological, social, political, or cultural perspective.  This minitrack seeks innovative research regarding emerging issues facing IS professionals- (i.e., leaders at the IS project level, CIO level, line staff or external professional service providers) such as the impact of cloud computing, social networking technologies, mobile technologies, and BYOD/consumerization, as well as how these affect the management of human computing resources.  This minitrack welcomes papers that perform analysis at the industry, workgroup or department, and individual level.  Studies developing or extending theory on issues such as the diversity and professional identity of the computing workforce, to the behavioral, technical and managerial implications of mobile computing are examples of the type of papers seen in this minitrack. This minitrack also welcomes papers which offer insights into the training and professional development of current and future generations of IS professionals. This minitrack will welcome all methodologies and research paradigms as well as best practices/lessons learned that focus on the intersection of people and technology.
