Value Conflicts and Information Security Management
                                                                                Special issue call for papers from Information and Computer Security

About this Special Issue

This special issue focuses on a crucial but under-developed area in information security management, namely the complexity of information security management when different practices, demands, and management systems meet and create tension. In particular this means highlighting value pluralism, value conflicts and paradoxes anchored in practices, demands and management systems. Such value conflicts and paradoxes could appear within or between organisations, as well as between different societal interests. We also seek contributions elucidating how value conflicts involving information security, and the way they are dealt with, influence information security per se, but also organisational performance, working conditions, and life quality.

Specific topics we invite you to provide submissions on include but are not limited to:
*The balance of information security goals and, for example, business and performance goals within an organisation and in work involving several organisations
*Coping with value conflicts involving information security in different organisational culture contexts
*Managing differences in co-existing subcultures in organisations with regard to information security
*Strategies for managing value conflicts with regard to information security behaviour
*Frameworks and methods for analysing value conflicts related to information security
*Behavioural and cognitive research into information security design, development, implementation, and use with consideration of value conflicts
*State-of-the-art reviews on value conflicts and information security
*Dependencies and conflicts between values introduced at legal, societal and organisational levels
*Privacy trade-offs and paradoxes
*Issues of employee and user surveillance with focus on value conflicts (i.e. security vs privacy)
*Value conflicts embedded in management systems
*Corporate code of ethics/conduct and information security
*Cases of value dilemmas and information security
*Value conflicts influencing compliance with information security and privacy policies, procedures, and regulations
*Whistle-blowing and information security

Important Dates:
*Submission deadline:  August 31, 2017
*Papers reviewed: October 16, 2017
*Revised papers reviewed and accepted: November 24, 2017
