[AISWorld] [Call for Papers] IS Leadership Development Mini-Track at AMCIS 2019 Cancun August 15-17

[Eom, Mike]

Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Cancun, Mexico, August 15-17, 2019: https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/

Mini-Track Title: IS Leadership Development

Track: IS Leadership and the IT Profession (SIGLEAD)



Aims and Scope:

IS Leadership Development is broadly defined to include research on IS leaders such as CIOs and CTOs, including their roles and careers. Though articles on IS Leadership Development abound in the practitioner press, much less attention has been devoted to the topic from an academic perspective. IS Leadership Development sets directions, creates commitment, and adapts the IS unit to fit a changing environment. It is, thus, an enduring concern to IS academics and practitioners alike. It is an issue that should face organizations for many years because leadership has been a persistent concern of all societies and organizations. The mini-track seeks to explore the various dimensions, theoretical bases, and perspectives on IS Leadership Development and to advance the state of scholarship on the issue. Authors are encouraged to submit both conceptual and empirical papers that employ a variety of quantitative and qualitative methodologies.



Possible Topics:

CIO and CTO Roles and Careers

*                     CIO reporting structure

*                     Strategic positioning within the organization

*                     Characteristics of a successful leader

*                     Managing success and failure



Technical Employee Development (i.e. Career Transition)

*                     Promoting from within the company or hiring from the outside

*                     Required skills for CIOs and CTOs

*                     Qualifications for being promoted to CEO

*                     IS succession planning



Non-Technical Employee Development (i.e. Career Transition for Non-IT Managers)

*                     Preparation and development of non-technical executives for CIO and CTO positions in large enterprises

*                     Preparation and development of non-technical executives for CIO and CTO positions for IS as a secondary role in SMEs

*                     Importance of CIOs to have a "pure" IT background
