[AISWorld] JAIS Theory Building Workshop Call for Abstracts

[Leidner, Dorothy]

Call for Papers - JAIS 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 20th JAIS Theory Development Workshop in conjunction with ICIS 2021 in a virtual venue. This workshop is scheduled to take place from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm (Central Time) on Sunday, December 12, 2021.

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.

Workshop Date: December 12, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm (Central Time) via Zoom video conference
