[AISWorld] Social Study of Information and Communication Technologies (SSIT11) at LSE

[M.Cushman at lse.ac.uk]

The 11th Social Study of Information and Communication Technologies workshop  (SSIT11) wil be held at LSE on 28 March. 
 
The theme of this year's event will be:
Information Systems and the Financial Crisis: Is technology to blame?
 
The financial crisis raises two provocative questions from an information systems perspective: In a global financial domain saturated with information and communication technology (ICT), why were the problems not identified? And once they were identified, why was the crisis so hard to contain?
 
This year's SSIT workshop has invited leading academics and practitioners to open the discussion on the way information systems development has coped with the continuous innovation in the financial sector in the past decade; the resulting information infrastructures; and the pressures for new enterprise architectures and IS development practice at the aftermath of the crisis.
 
Speakers include
 
    * Lynne Markus, Professor of Information and Process Management, Bentley University, USA
    * Elena Esposito, Professor of Sociology of Communication, University of Modena-Reggio Emilia, Italy
    * Stephen Norman, CIO, RBS
    * Magí Clavé, Directorate of Information Systems, ECB
