<span lang="EN-GB"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">In the IS field there is a growing recognition of the importance of theorizing the IT artefact and its organizational and societal context from a pragmatic, communicative, and action-oriented perspective. The aim of the AIS Special Interest Group on Pragmatist IS Research (SIGPrag) is to provide a much-needed centre of gravity and to facilitate exchange of ideas and further development of this area of IS scholarship. The first SIGPrag scientific event was held in Paris at ICIS 2008 followed by events at Phoenix at ICIS 2009 in Phoenix and ICIS 2010 in St. Louis at ICIS 2010. SIGPrag now invites researchers to contribute papers advancing its central theme: theorizing the IT artefact and its organizational and societal context from a pragmatic, design and action-oriented perspective.<o style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 4" p="#DEFAULT"></o style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 4"></font></span> </p>

<span lang="EN-GB"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">SIGPrag 2011 will address pragmatic issues across the full spectrum of information systems research, including areas such as systems development, social software, social media, social responsibility, business in society, business modelling, sustainable development, digital innovation, and IT in the supply chain. Diverse aspects of pragmatic theory, pragmatic research, and pragmatic methods are of special interest and especially their relation to other research streams such as design science research and action research. How can pragmatic IS research make a difference in practice and theory? <o style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 4" p="#DEFAULT"></o style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 4"></font></span> </p>

Those interested should submit their paper through the Sprouts review system by September 1st, 2011. Proceedings will be published through Sprouts. Submissions should follow the format of the ICIS template (see </font><u><i><font face="Times New Roman" color="#0000ff" size="4"><a href="http://icis2011.aisnet.org/).">http://icis2011.aisnet.org/).</a></font></i></u><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"> <o style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 4" p="#DEFAULT"></o style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 4"></font></span><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"></font> </p>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span lang="EN-GB">The format of SIGPrag 2011 will be highly interactive and developmental. Although we are soliciting high-quality, completed research papers, the assumption is that authors will develop these further for future submission to journals. Each author is therefore asked to identify which journal would be the primary future target for his or her work. This will be factored into the selection of reviewers and discussants at the event in Shanghai as means to provide as much as possible actionable advice to increase the success of the subsequent journal submission. Submitting a paper also incurs an obligation to serve as discussant of another paper at the workshop if one’s own paper is accepted.<o style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 4" p="#DEFAULT"></o style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 4"></span></font> </p>
