[AISWorld] ECIS 2017 - Panel Discussion: Making an Impact in a Publish-or-Perish World (June 9, 2-4 pm)

[Nik Rushdi Hassan]

Dear Carol,
The SIG Philosophy held a workshop at the last ICIS in Dublin (
https://sigphil.wordpress.com/2016/08/27/6th-pre-icis-sigphil-workshop/) on
a similar topic, which was a resounding success. Lots of good discussion
and proposals from the panelists as well as the audience. Samir was one of
the keynote speakers. I'm sure you'll get a lively and productive
discussion there too.
