[CFP-Theme Track: Opportunities and Challenges for the Digitized Society: Are We Ready?]

*******

[Deadline: 2018. 02. 26]

*******

We, the community of IS scholars with balanced training on social and technical aspects of these transformation, are well positioned to address the issues of the technological and societal changes and impacts incurred by information technologies and systems. This track welcomes innovative and relevant studies on societal impacts of technologies. Empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies as well as design-oriented research and conceptual papers on theory development are welcome. Societal impacts can be actual or potential, intended or unintended, and positive, negative, or diverse in effect. Due to the broad and inclusive nature of the topic, we encourage the submission of studies that address a variety of different units of analysis, including individual, group, process, organization, government, and society at large. The research questions may derive from a broad spectrum of related disciplines.
