In Memoriam – Dr. J.P. Shim

With great sorrow, the Korean Chapter of the Association for Information Systems (KrAIS) shares the news that Dr. J.P. Shim passed away Monday, November 22, 2021, after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. He was one of the program co-chairs for the KrAIS inaugural post-ICIS research workshop in 2007. He is survived by his loving family - Michelle Shim (Wife), Rana Kim (Daughter), Jason Kim (Son-in-law), Julie Shim (Daughter), Dana Sim (Daughter), John Sim (Son-in-law), John Shim (Son), and four grandsons (Caleb, Caden, Austin, Adam). He was 74.

Dr. Shim was CIS faculty, and executive director of the Korean-American Business Center at Georgia State University and a former BIS Professor, Larry and Tonya Favreau Notable Scholar, John Grisham Professor, and International Business Strategy Program Director at Mississippi State University (MSU). He has published five books and 100+ journal papers in *Journal of AIS*, *Journal of Information Technology, European Journal of Information Systems, Communications of the ACM, Decision Support Systems, Interfaces, ISR, Information & Management, Journal of Strategic Information Systems, Human Relations, Omega, IEEE Xplore, IEEE IT Professional, Computers & Operations Research, Journal of Operational Research Society, Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Long Range Planning, Journal of Organizational Computing* *and Electronic Commerce, ICIS Proceedings*, and *Academy of Management Proceedings*, *Computing and Electronic Commerce* , *ICIS Proceedings*, and *Academy of Management Proceedings*. He was WTS Fellow, IEEE Senior Member, and AIS Distinguished Member Cum Laude.

He was a frequent invited lecturer/speaker (more than 350 times) at numerous universities, research institutes, governments, and companies in the U.S., France, England, Korea, Germany, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Kuwait, Jamaica, Portugal, Turkey, and Singapore. Over the past several decades he delivered invited speeches at Tulane University, University of Wisconsin System in Madison, Panasonic Multimedia Lab in Princeton, New York University, ESSEC, KAIST, Seoul National University, Pohang University of Science and Technology, National University of Singapore, Yokohama National University, Fudan University, Chinese U of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, The University of the West Indies, and others.

Dr. Shim has been very active in supporting research, service, and teaching with his grant efforts. He often said that he found it rewarding to donate scholarships to students and support their success at each school he has worked for. Dr. Shim was also a passionate teacher. Even during his short and courageous battle with cancer, most students taking his courses in the Fall 2021 semester (he was teaching until September this year) and his colleagues have not noticed that he was fighting with the illness.

Throughout his lifetime, Dr. Shim enjoyed the pursuits of teaching and research as well as mentoring many students, professionals, and peer colleagues and spending time with his loving family. He will be remembered in the hearts of many who have been helped by his knowledge, kindness, and selflessness. On behalf of the KrAIS Chapter, we offer our sincere condolences.
The funeral service will be held at 11:00~Noon (Eastern time) on December 1, at Lee's Funeral Homes & Crematory, 4067 Industrial Park Dr. NW, Norcross, GA 30071, USA.
