<span style="font-size:11pt"><strong>Track Description</strong></span><br style="font-size:11pt">
<br style="font-size:11pt">
<span style="font-size:11pt">The Human Capital in IS is aimed at fostering a forum for IS scholars engaging in a range of human capital related research including IS leadership, professional services and career development/training. Specific objectives of
the track are to allow members to share their research, engage in exchange of perspectives, and encourage future collaborations. The track is sponsored by the AIS Special Interest Group on IS Leadership (SIGLead) with this track forming an expansion of a theme
on IS Leadership that has been hosted at AMCIS from 2003 through 2014.</span><br style="font-size:11pt">
<br style="font-size:11pt">
<span style="font-size:11pt">Though articles on human capital abound in the practitioner press, much less attention has been devoted to the topic from an academic perspective. IS professionals – whether leaders at the CIO level, IS project and line staff or
external professional service providers – are the human dimension of the discipline and therefore issues surrounding IS practice are of enduring concern to IS academics and practitioners alike. Mini-tracks cover the range of the track interest (divided between
mini-tracks covering IS managers/leaders and IS professionals/workers) and authors will be encouraged to submit both conceptual and empirical papers that employ a variety of quantitative and qualitative methodologies.</span><br style="font-size:11pt">
