Mini-Track: IS Security and Privacy in Developing, Emerging, and Transition Economies

Track: Information Systems Security and Privacy (SIGSEC)


Mini-track description
Today, organizations' operations depend on reliable information and robust information systems, thus preventing failure and managing a healthy status of information processes has become an important management issue. Organizations also need to build secure channels for information sharing to be able to engage in profitable global collaborations. Developing, emerging, and transition economies play an important role in such collaborations, but existing research puts little attention to the distinctive IS security and privacy issues in these environments. The different business, social, and legal environments of less developed economies might raise other IS security and privacy challenges and require new theoretical models and management practices than those known from the research to date. The purpose of this mini-track is to provide a forum to present and discuss theoretical models, methodologies, and empirical cases concerning the distinctive IS security and privacy issues in the context of developing, emerging, and transition economies.
SUGGESTED TOPICS
We are seeking papers that tackle all interesting aspects of this topic with a diverse range of theoretical lenses and methodologies. The mini-track invites manuscripts including, but not limited to the following topics:
*             IS security and privacy in global collaborations,
*             Cultural aspects in management of IS security and privacy
*             Ethical and legal aspects of IS security and privacy
*             IS security and privacy risk analysis and management
