[AISWorld] CFP Journal of Information Technology (JIT) Special Issue on Products of Theorizing

[Nik Rushdi Hassan]

Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce and launch the Journal of Information Technology
(JIT) Special Issue titled "Products of Theorizing: Towards Native Theories
of Emerging Information Technology" (click here for more details)
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JEiENIg25RtBPYqzoucc3-uTrNT2Wl1M/view?usp=sharing>.
The goal of this special issue is to showcase exemplars from the “products
of theorizing” approach that focus on approximations of IS theory. This
“products of theorizing” perspective on theory celebrates the outputs of
the “interim struggles” (Weick, 1995) that characterize theory generation.
It holds the promise that interim conceptual artefacts of theorizing such
as models, metaphors, frameworks and concepts that belong to the discipline
are valuable as they can be leveraged and exploited further in subsequent
research.  In this way, a discipline might inch its way towards native
theories over time. We are looking for articles that go beyond derivative
theories and push the envelope of theorizing towards native products of
theorizing.
To ensure that submissions meet the goals of the special issue, authors are
encouraged to submit an extended abstract to the editors (myself, Nik
Rushdi Hassan, nhassan at d.umn.edu, Leslie Willcocks (willcockslp at aol.com ),
Suzanne Rivard (suzanne.rivard at hec.ca) and Ulrike Schultze (uschultz at smu.edu)
by Oct 24, 2021. The SIGPHIL will also be holding a workshop at ICIS 2021
(Austin) on Dec 12-13 based on the same theme (Products of Theorizing)
<https://sigphil.wordpress.com/9th-concurrent-sigphilicis-workshop-on-products-of-theorizing-towards-native-theories-of-emerging-information-technology-dec-12-13-austin-texas/>.
Submissions are due on Jan 15, 2022.

Sincerely
Nik, Leslie, Suzanne & Ulrike
