AMCIS 2017 Call for Papers Commercializing Research for Socioeconomic Development

ICTs in Global Development (SIGGlobDev) Track

NOTE: Authors of best papers in the ​ICTs in Global Development track will be invited to submit revised versions for fast-track review and possible publication in one of the two journals:
Information Sy​stems Management (ISM) – ​http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/uism20/current
Information Techno​logy for Development (ITD) – ​http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/titd20/current

DESCRIPTION

Many governments, foundations and universities invest heavily in research activities. Likewise many university professorsspendmostoftheircareeractivelyengagedinresearchactivities. Muchofthisresearchhasthepotentialto impactsocietyandeconomicdevelopmentoutsideacademia. Howevermostoftheseideasnevermakeitbeyondthe university into real world applications where they could contribute to economic growth and impact society.

We believe improved results can be realized through a focused effort to transfer impactful research to the broader community, through technology commercialization efforts in partnership with the private sector. This may involve creating new university affiliated startup companies or licensing these research discoveries to existing companies to improve societal and economic development.
