[AISWorld] AMCIS 2015 (13.-15. Aug 2015 in Puerto Rico) /Call for Papers for Minitrack "Software in Developing, Emerging, and Transition (DET) Economies"

[Alexandra Kees]

Dear Colleagues,


we invite you to submit papers for the minitrack

*"Software in Developing, Emerging, and Transition (DET) Economies"*

for the

*21st Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2015) / August 
13-15, 2015 in Puerto Rico (http://amcis2015.aisnet.org).*

A description of the minitrack is provided below:

"Software plays an important role in supporting managerial decisions, 
designing business processes, transforming economic exchange, and 
enhancing organisational capabilities. It also enables the creation and 
delivery of new products, services, and business concepts. The role of 
software is therefore crucial for innovation in developing, emerging and 
transition (DET) economies. This applies especially to frugal and/or 
reverse innovation (e. g. M-PESA).

The distinct characteristics of DET economies give rise to various key 
business and social issues involving information and technological 
innovations. This minitrack invites submissions that address important 
research questions relevant to the use of software in a DET context. 
Papers that receive excellent reviews may be selected for fast track 
reviewing in the Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-  Software development, use and maintenance in DET economies
-  Software technologies in DET economies
-  Software trends in DET economies
-  Open source software in DET economies
-  Enterprise software /systems in DET economies
-  Economics of enterprise software in DET economies
-  IT governance in DET economies
-  IT strategy in DET economies
-  Industry studies in DET economies
-  Social networks and virtual communities in DET economies
-  Crowdsourcing in DET economies
-  Knowledge Management in DET economies
-  Digital privacy and security in DET economies
-  IT productivity and performance at the country, industry or firm 
level in DET economies
-  Frugal and/or reverse innovation in DET economies
-  Methodological challenges and opportunities in DET economies
-  Field reports, case studies or best practices as to software in 
DET economies”

We would appreciate your paper submission (due date is Feb, 25th 2015). 
Please also forward this email to your colleagues who may be interested
