Therefore, investigating the technological nature of enterprise systems alone without examining their prevalent social aspects yields an incomplete and somewhat shortsighted understanding of the underlying issues.<br><br>Thus far, the prevailing discourse on enterprise systems has had techno-centered orientation in spite of the far-reaching social ramifications of these systems. Subsequently, we seek submissions that explore social and organizational aspects of enterprise systems using theories such as actor-network theory, institutional theory, structuration theory, sensemaking, sociotechnical theory, information infrastructure theory or other theories used in organization studies. In particular, we wish to attract papers from researchers who apply, build on, or compare social theories within the domain of enterprise systems.<br><br>Submissions may relate to any social aspect of enterprise systems, for example:<br><br>- Enterprise system implementation<br>- Organizational issues related to enterprise system adoption<br>- Social impacts of enterprise systems in or across organizational settings<br>- How users make sense of enterprise systems<br>- Enterprise systems as information infrastructures<br>- The role of social and historical structures in enterprise system adaptation<br>- Institutional logics behind enterprise system implementation<br>- Balancing between emergent innovative capabilities and mature economies of scale<br><br>All research genres are equally welcome, including qualitative or quantitative research, case studies, survey research, and conceptual frameworks. We particularly encourage submissions that challenge or reframe our taken-for-granted assumptions, perceptions and practices.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h3 style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></h3><h3 style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Important Dates<o:p></o:p></span></h3><h3 style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal'>Submission deadline: 1 June 2011<br>Submission of camera-ready paper: 1 September 2011<br>Conference: 16-18 October 2011<o:p></o:p></span></h3><h3 style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></h3><h3 style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Track Chairs<o:p></o:p></span></h3><h3 style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal'>Tina Blegind Jensen, Copenhagen Business School, <a href="mailto:blegind@cbs.dk">blegind@cbs.dk</a><br>Michel Avital, University of Amsterdam, </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal'><a href="mailto:avital@uva.nl"><span lang=EN-US>avital@uva.nl</span></a></span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal'><o:p></o:p></span></h3><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Website: </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><a href="http://www.confenis2011.aau.dk/"><span lang=EN-US>http://www.confenis2011.aau.dk/</span></a></span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:DA'>The Fifth International Conference on Research and Practical Issues of Enterprise Information Systems (CONFENIS 2011) will be held in Aalborg, Denmark, October 16-18, 2011<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:DA'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:DA'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#595959;mso-fareast-language:DA'>Tina Blegind Jensen – Assistant Professor, PhD<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#595959;mso-fareast-language:DA'>Department of IT Management <b> –</b> Copenhagen Business School<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#595959;mso-fareast-language:DA'>Howitzvej 60 <b>–</b> DK 2000 Frederiksberg<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#595959;mso-fareast-language:DA'>Phone: +45 38 15 24 55 <b>–</b> email: <a href="mailto:blegind@cbs.dk"><span style='color:#595959'>blegind@cbs.dk</span></a><b> –</b> <a href="http://cbs.dk/forskning/institutter_centre/institutter/inf/menu/medarbejdere/menu/videnskabelige_medarbejdere/videnskabelige_medarbejdere/adjunkter/blegind"><span style='color:#595959'>www.cbs.dk/staff/blegind</span></a></span><span style='mso-fareast-language:DA'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
