[Barbara Krumay]

Dear colleagues,

Due to numerous requests, the Conf-IRM 2018 submission deadline has been 
extended to Friday 19 January 2018. As a recap, here are the key 
highlights of the conference, details in the CFP below:

(1) we accept both completed papers and research-in-progress;
(2) two top scholars confirmed as keynote speakers;
(3) a paper development workshop with senior scholars as mentors;
(4) selected papers will be considered for special issues with I&M and 
PAJAIS
(5) a marvellous company visit planned + social events!

We especially invite you to submit your full papers or 
research-in-progress to the Track 03 - ICT Design, Development and 
Services Management - Track description:

This track is a broad-based call for research aimed at designing and 
developing ICTs with a special emphasis on Service Management. In this 
track we seek to explore the status of international research about the 
ways in which new ICT designs allow organizations to store and process 
information and develop contemporary avenues for ICT development. By 
this we mean, how organizations extract value from ICTs through 
effective strategy, design and development processes. This includes the 
general application and understanding of Service Management as well as 
how the ideas relate to IT services.

Yours,
Barbara Krumay & Xue YANG, Track Chairs
