[AISWorld] HICSS-54 Minitrack on IT enabled Collaboration in Development

[Xusen Cheng]

Diffusion (adoption, implementation, and utilization) of collaboration
technologies have been investigated in many countries and regions around
the globe. While the majority of research initiatives have been undertaken
in Western Europe and North America, they have been scarce in developing
regions like East Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This minitrack
invites authors to submit their research from theoretical, technological,
social, psychological, behavioral, and design science perspectives.
Research deploying different theoretical lenses could focus on process and
system design, methods, modeling, and techniques in addressing various
aspects of IT enabled collaboration for development. Topics on interest
include, but are not limited to:

   - Case studies in education, business, government, and healthcare
   organizations in developing regions
   - IT enabled cross-cultural and intra and/or inter-organizational
   collaboration in developing regions
   - Global, virtual, distributed, blended, and face-to-face IT enabled
   collaboration for development at the team and organizational level
   - Emerging issues in collaboration technology diffusion for development
   - Deployment of emerging technologies for collaboration in developing
   regions
   - Group decision making, negotiation, facilitation, and communication
   technologies for development
   - Artificial intelligence collaboration technologies for development
   - Trust, privacy, security issues in IT enabled collaboration for
   development
   - Social, behavioral, psychological, and technical factors influencing
   IT enabled collaboration for development
   - Information systems, technologies, theories, processes, methods, or
   models that could be transferred and applied from developed regions to
   developing regions
