[AISWorld] CFP: HICSS(2023) minitrack “IT Enabled Collaboration for Development”

[Xusen Cheng]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit to the minitrack “IT Enabled
Collaboration for Development” in HICSS 2023.

Diffusion (adoption, implementation, and utilization) of collaboration
technologies has been investigated in many countries and regions around the
globe. While many of the research initiatives have been undertaken in
Western Europe and North America, they have been scarce in developing
regions like Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The diffusion
of collaboration technologies in these regions is on the rise as
globalization drives inter and intra-country collaboration intensity within
and across organizations. In many developing countries, synchronous and
asynchronous computer support for team members (co-located or virtual) is
being enhanced by handheld mobile devices in communities of practice and
social media environments. Moreover, during this era of COVID-19, the use
of digital technology enabled tools for collaboration and communication, is
becoming the new normal. Emerging trends like Metaverse, provide
opportunities to further enhance IT enabled collaboration for development.

We would like to invite the 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.

The minitrack will focus on a wide range of topics including but not
limited to:

   - IT enabled collaboration in emerging context (COVID-19 period,
   Metaverse) in developing regions
   - Collaboration technology diffusion 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 mobile technologies for collaboration in developing
   regions
   - Group decision making, negotiation, facilitation, and communication
   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
