[AISWorld] CfP pre-ICIS workshop "Service and Information Systems Research for a Better Future"

Thu Oct 7 15:14:40 EDT 2021

Dear friends and colleagues,

Please find the CfP for our pre-ICIS workshop "Service and Information Systems Research for a Better Future" below, which we are hosting as the SIG Services of AIS.
We would like to draw your specific attention to the Ph.D. Service Science Slam and would appreciate if you share the CfP with Ph.D. students in your network as they will have the opportunity to discuss their research in this format.
Looking forward to numerous contributions and discussions!

Thank you and best regards
Christoph Peters

Theme of the Workshop
The ongoing digital transformation - driven by an ever-accelerating speed at which innovative technologies and services are developed - offers manifold opportunities and challenges on the individual, organizational, and societal level. It is agreed that digital technology should be developed and deployed to increase well-being and quality of life for all human beings. In line with the conference theme of ICIS 2021 "Building Sustainability and Resilience with IS: A Call for Action", this SIG Service pre-ICIS workshop aims at discussing service and information systems research for a better future. Some principles that might guide us in how a better future can look like are prescribed in the definition of a Society 5.0 - a society that follows leitmotifs such as inclusiveness, equality, and empowering of individuals-that is postulated by the Japanese Cabinet Office (https://www8.cao.go.jp/cstp/english/society5_0/index.html) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals).
Purpose of the Workshop
This workshop intends to facilitate the discourse amongst IS researchers interested in service research. We invite those interested in discussing how service research can play a pivotal role in achieving a better world in the future. Thereby, the workshop participants are requested to develop their ideas in a short paper before the workshop. This way, other participants can get acquainted with the topic, and we can start a fruitful discussion at the workshop itself, which provides an interactive and fun format to present, challenge, and develop breakthrough ideas on Service Research and IS.
Format of the Workshop
The workshop will be conducted on Sunday, December 12th, as a half-day event, including three sessions. We will start with a brainteaser from the SIG Service leadership team who pitch their views on how service research in IS can contribute to achieving a better future. The first workshop session will feature a Ph.D. Service Science Slam, inviting all Ph.D. students to present and discuss their current work that is related to service research in any form. We plan a short presentation with subsequent feedback/discussion. In the second session, Tuure Tuunanen will provide a senior scholar's pitch outlining his views on current trending topics in the discipline, again, followed by a discussion. A wrap-up and the annual SIG Services assembly will conclude the workshop.
