[AISWorld] (Panel at ICIS 2013) Open IS: The IS Discipline as an Open Community Ecosystem

[Feller, Joseph]

Dear Colleagues,

Matt Germonprez, Kevin Crowston*, Michel Avital and I will be participating in a  panel at ICIS 2013 entitled "Open IS: The IS Discipline as an Open Community Ecosystem."

The panel abstract appears below, and full details can be found at http://opennessandtransparency.net/ICIS2013OpenISPanel.

Panel Abstract: The collective intelligence and collective action of “open” communities have produced a variety of complex knowledge goods and radical social change. The Information Systems (IS) community has invested significant effort into researching open communities and the ecosystems in which they operate, seeking to better understand these emerging forms of organization, production, innovation, knowledge, and value creation. Ironically, the IS discipline itself has, on the whole, failed to embrace the principles that its own research has repeatedly identified as generative and powerful. This panel therefore seeks to stimulate a thoughtful and dynamic discussion around the proposition that "becoming a more open community will enhance the IS discipline’s scholarly inquiry and global impact."

The comments thread  at http://opennessandtransparency.net/ICIS2013OpenISPanel is open and we invite you all to visit and to share your thoughts about these important and compelling issues.

We hope to see you at ICIS!

Joe
