[AISWorld] CFP:HICSS-55 Minitrack on IT Eanbled Collaboration in Development

[Xusen Cheng]

Dear Colleagues:

Welcome to submit to our minitrack,  IT Eanbled Collaboration in
Development, under the track of Collaboration Systems and Technologies, in
HICSS-55 conference.  Please see call for paper information below:

Diffusion (adoption, implementation, and utilization) of collaboration
technologies has been investigated in many countries and regions around the
globe. While majority of the research initiatives have been undertaken in
developed economies, they have been scarce in developing regions like East
Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The diffusion of collaboration
technologies in these regions is on the rise as globalization drives inter
and intra-country/regional collaboration intensity within and across
organizations. In many developing countries, technology enhanced
collaboration, such as synchronous and asynchronous computer support for
team members (co-located or virtual) is being enhanced by handheld mobile
devices. In the new normal of COVID-19, more and more people are using IT
enabled tools for collaboration.

We would like to invite the authors to submit their research from
theoretical, technological, social, psychological, behavioral, and design
science perspectives. Research deploying different lenses could focus on
process and system design, methods, modeling, and techniques in addressing
various aspects of IT enabled collaboration for development.

The minitrack will focus on a wide range of topics including but not
limited to:

   - IT enabled collaboration in the new normal of COVID-19
   - Case studies in education, business, government, and healthcare
   organizations in developing regions
   - IT enabled cross-cultural and intra and/or inter-organizational
   collaboration in developing regions
   - Global, virtual, distributed, blended, and face-to-face IT enabled
   collaboration for development at the team and organizational level
   - Emerging issues in collaboration technology diffusion for development
   - Deployment of mobile technologies for collaboration in developing
   regions
   - Group decision making, negotiation, facilitation, and communication
   technologies for development
   - Trust, privacy, security issues in IT enabled collaboration for
   development
   - Social, behavioral, psychological, and technical factors influencing
   IT enabled collaboration for development
   - Information systems, technologies, theories, processes, methods, or
   models that could be transferred and applied from developed regions to
   developing regions
