Hawaii, January 5-8, 2021
Research track: Internet and the Digital Economy

Fast-Track Opportunities:
Selected minitrack papers will be invited for a fast-track in either the 
Information Systems Management (ISM) Journal
or the Journal of Global Information Technology Management (JGITM).

Track description:
Globalization has historically been tied to technological innovation, 
and the present era of the digital economy is no different. The 
worldwide spread of interconnected information and communication 
technologies (ICTs) has provided the infrastructure for multinational 
businesses, created new cultural connections irrespective of geographic 
boundaries and distances, and allowed an increasingly mobile global 
population to be connected to their friends, families, and cultures no 
matter where they are. Businesses across all sectors have been updating 
their business models to reap benefits from the advances in ICTs, which 
allowed many to extend their reach into global and international 
markets, and thus also into different cultural contexts.

In line with the track recognition that the Internet and the digital 
economy have transformed the way we work, learn, and play, our minitrack 
focuses on the sociotechnical dynamics and the ways in which the 
Internet and the digital economy affect people, groups, organizations, 
and societies. We are in particular interested in the impact of global, 
international, and cross-cultural issues on the provision, use and also 
control of ICT services across the globe.

The minitrack welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of 
information systems (IS) research situated in a global, international or 
cross-cultural context. The minitrack is open to all methodological 
approaches and perspectives. We are interested in empirical and 
theoretical work.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- The impacts of cultural values on ICT adoption and use, and control.
- Cross cultural studies of managing complex IT projects, especially for 
ICT development, and the quantification of self at work by individuals 
or organizations.
- Issues relating to globally distributed teams and global knowledge 
management.
- Issues relating to IT governance and IT security in global, 
international and cross cultural context.
- Issues relating to global distributed computing and Cloud sourcing 
strategies.
- Effects of global social computing on work organization and practices.
- The role of the digital skills gap and differences in the level of 
regulation and legislation across countries.
- Single country studies showing implications for other locations or 
results different from other contexts.
