Call for Papers - JAIS Theory Development Workshop

JAIS-sponsored Theory Development Workshop in Association with ICIS 2021



Since December 2002, the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) has organized a number of successful Theory Development Workshops. This year we will hold the 19th JAIS Theory Development Workshop in conjunction with ICIS in Austin, TX.



The workshop is scheduled to take place from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm US Central Time on Sunday, December 12, 2021 in person at ICIS and via Zoom video conference.



Workshop Information

The workshop is focused on theory building and conceptual foundations in the information systems field. In particular, this workshop is interested in new theory development from an analysis of literature, as opposed to grounded theory development from empirical data. Workshop participants will discuss their work with JAIS board members and other workshop participants. To be considered, authors must demonstrate significant theory development in their submission. While the breakout sessions are limited to those with accepted abstracts, the panel session will be open to all registrants, whether your submission is accepted or not.



  *   There is a $25 fee to attend the JAIS Workshop if you are registered for ICIS.
  *   You are not required to register for ICIS to attend the JAIS Workshop. Attendees that are not registered for the conference (virtual and in-person) will be charged an additional $25 fee by AIS.
