[Gerow, Jennifer E]

Submissions Welcome for Leadership, Professional Development, and Professional Services Special Issue


In collaboration with Information Systems Management (ISM) journal, Association for Information Systems (AIS) Special Interest Group on IS Leadership (SIGLEAD) proudly presents the 2019 ISM SIGLEAD Special Issue (scheduled for Volume 36 No. 2). As information technology (IT) has been assuming a greater strategic role in today's businesses, the role of Information Systems (IS) executives is more important than ever. The complexities of emerging technologies, interdependencies and intricacies of business operations and processes, and a constantly changing business environment present great challenges to IS executives in setting directions, creating commitment, adapting their IT unit, and fitting the organization's business goals. Accordingly, IS leadership is an enduring concern for IS research, practice, and education. For this special issue, topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Educating and developing IS leaders
* Creating sustainable IS leadership
* IS leadership research
* IS leadership readiness assessment
* Attributes of effective IS leaders
* IS technological leadership
* Impact of IS leadership on firm performance
* Types of IS leadership
* IS consulting
* Emerging issues to leaders and professionals
