[AISWorld] CFP Journal of Information Technology (JIT) Special Issue on Products of Theorizing

[Nik Rushdi Hassan]

Dear colleagues,
Just a quick reminder for those interested in the Journal of Information
Technology (JIT) Special Issue titled "Products of Theorizing: Towards
Native Theories of Emerging Information Technology" (click here for more
details)
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JEiENIg25RtBPYqzoucc3-uTrNT2Wl1M/view?usp=sharing>
to send their extended abstracts by Oct 24. The goal of this special issue
is to showcase exemplars from the “products of theorizing” approach that
focus on approximations of IS theory. This “products of theorizing”
perspective on theory celebrates the outputs of the “interim struggles”
(Weick, 1995) that characterize theory generation. It holds the promise
that interim conceptual artefacts of theorizing such as models, metaphors,
frameworks and concepts that belong to the discipline are valuable as they
can be leveraged and exploited further in subsequent research.  In this
way, a discipline might inch its way towards native theories over time. We
are looking for articles that go beyond derivative theories and push the
envelope of theorizing towards native products of theorizing.
To ensure that submissions meet the goals of the special issue, authors are
encouraged to submit an extended abstract to the editors (myself, Nik
Rushdi Hassan, nhassan at d.umn.edu, Leslie Willcocks (willcockslp at aol.com ),
Suzanne Rivard (suzanne.rivard at hec.ca) and Ulrike Schultze (uschultz at smu.edu)
by Oct 24, 2021. The SIGPHIL will also be holding a workshop at ICIS 2021
(Austin) on Dec 12-13 based on the same theme (Products of Theorizing)

Submissions are due on Feb 1, 2022.

Sincerely
Nik, Leslie, Suzanne & Ulrike
